Job Description

If you’re a Scottish qualified Property Solicitor with around two years’ PQE and you’re starting to feel that familiar pull towards something bigger, more purposeful, this could be exactly the kind of move that reignites your momentum.
One of Scotland’s standout legal names, a firm with real weight in the market and long-established ties to the City, is expanding its Residential Development team and is keen to bring in someone ready to grow with it.
This is a firm that genuinely offers the best of both worlds. Proudly Scottish at its core, yet firmly plugged into national and City-led workstreams, it delivers the calibre of work you’d expect from a top-tier practice without losing the culture, balance and approachability that make it a great place to build a career. You’ll be exposed to blue-chip clients and complex, high-value projects, while still feeling part of a close-knit, supportive team that invests in its people.
From the outset, your work will be varied, visible and genuinely impactful. You’ll be involved in major residential developments for national housebuilders, regional developers and institutional investors, including mixed-use and build-to-rent schemes that are shaping communities across Scotland.
Residential development has proven itself to be one of the most resilient and forward-looking areas of property law, and this role puts you right at the heart of a sector that continues to thrive, even when the wider market slows.
Whether you’re currently in commercial property and keen to specialise in an area with real momentum, or you’re a residential conveyancer ready to take a step into more strategic, development-focused work, this role offers a clear pathway forward. The team is ambitious, collaborative and growing for all the right reasons, making this a brilliant moment to join and leave your own stamp on its future.
If this sounds like the kind of opportunity that could take your career up a level, get in touch with Neil Campbell at QED Legal for a confidential chat. He’ll be happy to talk you through the role and explore whether it’s the right fit for you.
