The Role & The Work

Join a Top 20 international firm with Scottish roots and an established global reach and become a key part of a highly regarded Corporate team in Glasgow. The practice is recognised at the high level in the L500 and acts on some of the most significant and complex transactions in the market.

You'll work alongside leading Corporate Lawyers on high-value, cross-border and strategically important transactions, advising an impressive mix of domestic and international clients. The work is varied by design, giving you exposure across M&A, private equity, joint ventures, investments, reorganisations and wider corporate advisory matters.

What makes this particularly interesting is the combination of Scottish market knowledge with genuinely international deal capability. You'll have the opportunity to work on matters that extend well beyond the Scottish market, while still benefiting from a close-knit and supportive Glasgow team. The team works across a broad range of sectors too, allowing you to develop a commercial understanding of the industries driving investment and growth.

At Associate level, you'll be given meaningful responsibility by supporting senior lawyers on sophisticated transactions, building direct client relationships and take ownership of your own workstreams, while benefiting from the support and development of some of the strongest Corporate lawyers in the market.

This is a firm that combines the resources and international reach of a global practice with a culture that remains collaborative, supportive and people-focused. With significant headroom for progression, it offers a powerful platform for a Corporate Lawyer looking to take their career to the next level.
