You might have considered defendant work but held back, thinking it would be a difficult transition at NQ level.
It isn’t.
In fact, with the right support around you, it can be one of the best moves you make early in your career — both in terms of development and long-term earning potential.
QED Legal’s client, one of the UK’s leading insurance firms, is looking to appoint a Newly Qualified Solicitor (or those up to 3 years PQE) to join its Glasgow or Edinburgh team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an NQ to step into a role where you will be properly supported from day one. You’ll be working within a team that places real emphasis on mentorship, giving you access to experienced solicitors who are invested in your development and progression.
The caseload focuses on defended Employer’s Liability and Public Liability claims, offering a strong foundation in litigation and exposure to more complex, technical work early in your career. Caseloads are carefully managed to ensure you are developing your skills without being overwhelmed.
This is a firm that is genuinely focused on building long-term careers. The structure of the team, combined with a highly competitive and well-rounded benefits package, is designed to retain and develop its people — with a clear view to shaping its future partners from within.
If you are coming to the end of your traineeship, or are recently qualified and looking for a role where you will be supported, developed and set up for long-term success, this is well worth exploring.
