What if you could work on City-level real estate transactions — without leaving Scotland? I’m working with a top tier Scottish law firm with a longstanding reputation in the Real Estate market, currently looking to appoint a Senior Associate to join its established and highly regarded team. This is a role that will see you operating at the sharp end of the retail sector, advising on high-value acquisitions and disposals for a range of national and institutional clients. The work is consistently complex, commercially driven and very much aligned with what you would expect from a leading City practice. What makes this opportunity particularly compelling is the level at which the team operates. There is regular collaboration with London firms and international clients, meaning you’ll be involved in cross-border transactions and high-profile deals that extend well beyond Scotland. In many respects, this is City-quality work — but delivered within a more balanced and sustainable environment. At Senior Associate level, the focus shifts beyond pure delivery. You’ll be trusted to lead on transactions, take ownership of key client relationships and play an active role in the continued growth of the practice. You’ll work closely with Partners who are well known in the market, gaining both exposure and the platform to develop your own profile. The team itself is well structured and continues to grow, supported by a strong and consistent pipeline of premium work across the retail space. From large-scale portfolio deals through to strategic acquisitions and disposals, you’ll be involved in transactions that demand both technical strength and commercial awareness. The ideal candidate will be a qualified solicitor with a minimum of five years’ post-qualification experience in commercial property, with strong exposure to sales and purchases. Experience within the retail sector would be advantageous, but equally important is the ability to operate confidently at a senior level, manage complexity and engage effectively with clients. What sets this role apart is the combination of platform and trajectory. You’ll be joining a firm that offers genuinely high-end work, clear progression opportunities and the chance to build a career at a level often associated with the City — without needing to relocate. For those considering their next move at Senior Associate level, this represents a rare opportunity to access that calibre of work while maintaining a more grounded and collegiate working environment. For further information, please contact Neil at QED Legal via the details provided.

What if you didn’t have to choose between leading a successful real estate practice today and building a future in renewable energy tomorrow? At senior level, those choices can feel even more defined—lean fully into traditional real estate or pivot into a specialist sector. But what if you could do both, and do it in a way that strengthens your long-term career? QED Legal’s client, a top-tier law firm, is offering a rare opportunity for a Legal Director to take on a pivotal role within its real estate team in Glasgow or Edinburgh—one that genuinely bridges mainstream real estate and the fast-evolving renewable energy sector. This is a role designed for someone who wants to operate at a strategic level while continuing to build a broad, high-quality practice. You’ll lead on a wide range of transactions across hospitality, retail, and commercial real estate, maintaining the depth and diversity that underpins a strong and resilient practice. Alongside this, you’ll play an integral role in supporting and growing the firm’s presence in renewable energy projects—gaining exposure to a sector that is reshaping the market. Crucially, this isn’t about stepping away from what you already do well. It’s about adding a powerful new dimension to your skillset. You’ll work closely with highly regarded Partners who are deeply invested in developing the next generation of senior leaders—offering not just oversight, but meaningful collaboration as you expand your expertise into energy-related work. With a platform that encourages autonomy and recognises the importance of profile-building, you’ll be empowered to strengthen client relationships, contribute to business development, and shape your own practice in a way that aligns with both your interests and market demand. The variety of work on offer ensures you remain commercially grounded, while your growing exposure to renewable energy positions you at the forefront of a sector with long-term global significance. It’s a combination that offers not only professional fulfilment, but also genuine career resilience in an evolving market. This is more than a step up in title—it’s an opportunity to future-proof your career, broaden your influence, and establish yourself as a key figure at the intersection of real estate and clean energy. If you’re ready to take on a role that offers both leadership and forward momentum, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. For a confidential discussion, please contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal using the details provided.
