I’m working with a ranked Scottish firm that has built a reputation for delivering some of the strongest respondent employment work currently available in the market. They are now looking to appoint a Newly Qualified solicitor to join their growing team.
This is an opportunity to begin your career in an environment that genuinely prioritises development. You’ll be working alongside a Partner group that is not only highly regarded for the quality of their work, but also for how they support and mentor junior lawyers. There is a real emphasis on collaboration here — you won’t be left to figure things out on your own.
The work itself is varied, commercially focused and consistently high quality. You’ll be advising employer clients on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious matters, gaining exposure to complex tribunal work, strategic advisory projects and day-to-day employment issues. It’s the kind of platform that allows you to build confidence quickly, while developing a strong technical foundation.
I have worked closely with this firm for over two decades and have seen it evolve through a number of stages. I can say with confidence that it is currently in the strongest position I have ever known — both in terms of the quality of work it is attracting and the calibre of people within the team.
What sets this team apart is its culture. It is genuinely supportive, down-to-earth and invested in helping NQs succeed. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, take on responsibility at the right pace and develop your own style as a lawyer, all within a structure that is designed to help you progress.
For an NQ looking to build a long-term career in employment law — particularly on the respondent side — this represents an excellent place to start. You’ll be joining a team that combines quality work with the kind of mentorship that makes a real difference in those early years.
