This progressive Scottish law firm is recruiting a Professional Support Lawyer to join its Private Client division, supporting the Asset Protection team. This is a newly created role, offering the opportunity to play a key part in knowledge development, innovation, and technical support within a well‑established and expanding team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Supporting fee earners with complex legal research and technical queries in tax, succession and asset protection matters
  • Developing and maintaining precedents, style documentation and knowledge resources
  • Monitoring legal developments and delivering internal training and technical updates
  • Driving innovation in processes, including the use of AI, automation and legal technology
  • Contributing to onboarding, trainee development and internal knowledge sharing
  • Supporting marketing, business development and legal directory submissions

Applicants should have at least 5 years’ PQE with strong technical expertise in private client, particularly tax and succession planning under Scots law. Previous PSL or knowledge‑focused experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Candidates should be confident communicators, detail‑focused, and interested in innovation and improving legal processes.

You will be joining a collaborative Private Client team of around 50 professionals, in a role that reports into senior leadership and offers excellent scope to influence how knowledge, training and innovation are delivered across the practice. Flexible and agile working arrangements are available, alongside a competitive salary and benefits package.
