Want to make a difference? Join us.

We are looking for a qualified Criminal Solicitor to come and join us in our busy Criminal and Road Traffic Defence Team.

We are keen to speak with ambitious and motivated candidates up to 3 years’ PQE, and after initial training will be able to hit the ground running, within our Chambers Legal Directory and Legal 500 ranked team.

This is a full-time position and would require attending our offices for weekly team days and meeting with clients. the candidate will have the ability to travel as our work covers courts across the country.

We are famous for delivering five-star service and are rated as excellent in Glasgow, Hamilton and Edinburgh.

We are a dynamic and forward-thinking firm and are looking for someone to join us who can assist us in continuing to provide excellent client service and who shares our culture and values.

Our values are care, dynamism, integrity, passion and client focus.

For this role:

Essential Skills and Attributes:

• Litigation experience within criminal courts – summary level essential / solemn experience preferable, but not essential.
• Team player – need to be able to work well with others. Lone wolfs need not apply.
• Understanding & want to deliver “excellent client care”. With Client Focus and Care as two of our values, the clients deserve the best service.
• Ability to prioritise tasks and work under pressure. It’s not an easy job, and managing time is the hardest part.
• Previous experience running their own case load is preferable.
• Hold valid drivers licence, and be willing to travel to different courts.

What type of work would I be doing?

Please also note that the position would be dealing exclusively with privately funded matters as we no longer take on Legal Aid instructions. The perks of this are that the late night calls and weekend visits to the police stations normally associated with the job are rare and uncommon!

This means we get to prepare files fully in advance, which allows us to give our clients the time and effort their defence deserves – and not be limited by what SLAB tells us we deserve.

Our Benefits Package

We have a fantastic benefits package which includes:

• hybrid working
• excellent holiday package
• private health scheme
• life assurance
• income protection
• bonus scheme
• and more!

As our team are very important to us, we celebrate and reward our staff regularly and have staff days out.

Are you right for us?

We recognise that our staff are our most important asset, and we pride ourselves on being a great place to work. That is why this is a great opportunity for a sociable and hard working person to come and build their career within our growing criminal practice and feel rewarded both mentally and financially.

So, whether you feel overworked; want work life balance; or simply want a change of scene to come to a firm who will value and respect you – we want to hear from you.

Any contact will be in the strictest confidence.

We believe the quality of the candidate is the most important thing!
