Is it time to swap city deals for something a little more… castle-adjacent?

Job Description

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

There has never been a better time to shape the career you actually want in this consistently buoyant (and refreshingly market-proof) area of law.

Are you an NQ to 2 years’ PQE property solicitor considering your next move in Edinburgh or Glasgow?

If so, QED Legal’s leading Scottish client—renowned for its top-tier rural and agricultural work across Scotland and beyond—is looking to welcome an additional solicitor into the team.

In this role, you’ll advise families, businesses, trusts, and charities with rural landowning interests. Expect to get involved in estate management, renewable energy projects, and the sale, purchase, and leasing of rural property—ranging from residential and agricultural to sporting and commercial.

Experience in handling transactions involving estates, farms, country houses, or forestry would be a real advantage—but just as important is a genuine interest in this unique and rewarding sector.

And here’s the exciting bit…

This isn’t one of those teams where progression feels like a waiting game. With a genuinely balanced structure, there’s a clear pathway for an ambitious solicitor with early partnership aspirations. If you’ve got ideas, energy, and a bit of entrepreneurial spark when it comes to business development, you’ll be encouraged to run with it.

This firm stands out as a true market leader in rural property and agricultural law—offering work that’s as interesting as it is prestigious.

Also worth noting: specialists in this space are rare in the Edinburgh and Glasgow markets, so there’s real openness to speaking with real estate solicitors curious about making the move.

Because yes… this could mean swapping shop units for castles.

Actual castles.

Let that sink in for a second.

If that doesn’t pique your interest, I’m not sure what will.

All conversations will be completely confidential, and there’s absolutely no pressure to move forward beyond an initial chat.
