About You:

• Qualified Solicitor in Scotland with a strong private client background
• Proven technical expertise across wills, estates, trusts, and succession planning
• Excellent mathematical skills, with confidence handling complex tax calculations
• Strong client care, compliance, and relationship-building skills
• Commercially aware, with an appetite to contribute to the firm's continued growth
