I'm recruiting for a commercial property team in Glasgow that I think offers a particularly attractive environment for somebody at around 1–3 years PQE.
You'll work closely with an exceptionally personable Partner who has built a thriving commercial property practice in the city, alongside two Associates and a very hands-on Legal Director.
And that last bit is important.
There are plenty of firms that will give you access to good quality work. Rather fewer will give you access to several experienced lawyers who have the time and inclination to help you become better at it.
The work is broad and genuinely commercial.
Acquisitions and disposals, commercial leasing, investment transactions, portfolio management and secured lending, with clients spanning healthcare, hospitality, retail, education and renewable energy.
It's an opportunity to develop into a well-rounded commercial property lawyer rather than finding yourself pigeonholed into a particular type of transaction three years into your career.
You'll have the opportunity to develop your own client relationships, take increasing responsibility for transactions and get involved in more complex matters alongside the senior members of the team.
What I particularly like about this opportunity is the wider growth of the Glasgow office.
This is an established Scottish firm that has invested heavily in its presence in the West of Scotland, with some excellent senior appointments and a genuine appetite to continue building.
Joining a growing office at this stage in your career can be a very sensible move. Particularly when you're surrounded by people who have already demonstrated that progression within the business is achievable.
You'll ideally have between one and three years' post-qualification experience in commercial property, although I'd be interested in hearing from somebody with a slightly broader property background who is keen to specialise.
You don't need to be the finished article.
In fact, that's rather the point of the opportunity.
For a confidential conversation about the team, the Partner you'd be working with and what this move could do for your career, contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal.
