Job Description

MBM Commercial is a market leading provider of legal and commercial services to investors, entrepreneurs and high growth companies. We are an innovative and growing business with offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London and we are looking for a legal trainee to be based in our Edinburgh office starting in September 2026.

 

About the Role

This is a unique traineeship. We are entrepreneurial business lawyers and you will gain a hands-on traineeship across a range of corporate and commercial practice areas — giving you a well-rounded foundation and the chance to discover where your real passion lies.

You’ll work closely with experienced solicitors on real client matters from day one, gaining genuine responsibility and client exposure in a supportive and modern environment. Beyond technical training, you’ll be encouraged to contribute to business development initiatives, shaping not only your career but also the future of our growing practice.

 

What We’re Looking For

You’ll have completed your Diploma in Professional Legal Practice and be eager to start your traineeship in a dynamic, forward-thinking law firm. We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a client-focused mindset and excellent communication skills
  • Approaches challenges with enthusiasm, initiative and a commercial outlook
  • Thrives in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment
  • Is ready to go the extra mile for clients and colleagues alike

 

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to do more than just train — it’s a chance to make an impact. You’ll be a valued part of a close-knit team that champions professional growth, innovation, and balance. Expect genuine mentorship, early responsibility, and the freedom to shape your own career trajectory within a firm that values ideas and individuality. If you’re ready to kickstart your legal career in an environment that’s modern, ambitious, and full of opportunity — we’d love to hear from you.
