Real Estate Finance Lawyer

Location: Glasgow
Firm: L500 Ranked Boutique | High-Value Real Estate Practice
Salary: Highly Lucrative Salary + Excellent Benefits

The Role & The Work

An opportunity to join a highly recognised, L500 ranked Real Estate team offering a platform that is hard to find in the Scottish market, with mentoring and exposure to working with top-named London law firms, within a supportive team environment.

Real Estate Finance is the key focus, with the team handling high-value and complex transactions, including significant cross-border matters and work involving major UK and international firms. The team deals with HNW and complex Real Estate Finance transactions, advising on transactions worth several hundred million pounds, giving you exposure to sophisticated work and high-profile clients from day one.

You'll work within a small and experienced team, meaning you won't be one of many lawyers operating within a large hierarchy. Instead, you'll have real responsibility, direct access to senior decision-makers and the opportunity to become an important part of the continued growth of the practice and overall firm.

The team is busy, ambitious and passionate about the work they do. It's an environment that will suit someone who enjoys high-quality work, takes ownership of their matters and wants to play an active role in building something, rather than simply stepping into an established structure.

One of the most unique Real Estate Finance opportunities I have seen in the market, this role offers a 2+ PQE Lawyer the chance to take on responsibility well beyond their PQE, build business acumen and accelerate their career, all without the feeling of being just another cog in the wheel.

Your Experience

• Scottish Qualified Solicitor with experience in Real Estate Finance.
• A strong technical grounding, with experience handling complex Real Estate and/or REF transactions and HNW clients.
• Exposure to business development, networking and relationship-building activities, with an interest in developing this further.
• Commercially minded and proactive, with the confidence to take ownership of matters and work independently while contributing effectively within a close-knit team.
• Someone who thrives in an entrepreneurial and less traditional law firm environment, where there is scope to make an impact.
• Comfortable building relationships and engaging with clients, referrers and the wider market.

Why This Role?

• Join an experienced team where your contribution will make a real impact.
• Work on high-value Real Estate Finance transactions, including significant cross-border matters.
• Exposure to work involving major UK and international law firms.
• Opportunity for a Lawyer to build out a practice and following with the support of recognised names in the industry.
• More responsibility and autonomy than you would typically find within a larger, more hierarchical firm.
• Strong investment in AI and legal technology, with the team actively using technology to improve efficiency and the way matters are delivered.
• Join a team with a significant pipeline of work and ambitions for further growth.
