Solicitor/Senior Solicitor (up to 2 PQE) | English Real Estate

Ready to make your mark in Scotland’s largest English Real Estate team?

We are looking for a Solicitor/Senior Solicitor with up to two years’ PQE to join our English Real Estate team in Edinburgh or Glasgow. This is a rare opportunity to join a team with an impressive track record and a high-quality client base.

You will advise on a broad range of English real estate matters, including investment acquisitions and disposals, commercial leasing and asset management, development and regeneration projects, real estate finance, and renewable energy and infrastructure work. You will also support the real estate aspects of corporate, banking and finance transactions.

Working as part of a collaborative and supportive team, you will be involved in complex transactions and play an active role in delivering high-quality advice to clients. You will have the opportunity to build strong client relationships, contribute to dedicated client teams and work alongside colleagues across the firm to provide practical, commercially focused solutions.

We are looking for someone who is positive, ambitious, and passionate about commercial real estate. You will bring strong technical and drafting skills, excellent attention to detail, strong commercial awareness, and a commitment to exceptional client service. You will also be proactive, organised, and comfortable building relationships and taking ownership of your work. Experience in English commercial real estate is preferred, but an English qualification is not essential. We welcome applications from Scots-qualified real estate solicitors who are keen to develop a career in English real estate, as well as dual-qualified candidates with experience in both jurisdictions. You will receive training, mentoring and guidance to help you build a successful practice.
