This established Scottish law firm is recruiting a Contentious Private Client Solicitor to join its growing Private Client team in Edinburgh. This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor with experience in private client litigation to take ownership of a varied caseload while helping to further develop the firm’s contentious private client offering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Managing a caseload of contentious private client matters, including disputes relating to wills, trusts, executries, estates and succession
• Advising clients on complex private client and succession issues, providing clear, practical and commercially focused guidance
• Conducting litigation and representing clients in court proceedings where required
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, counsel and other professional advisers while contributing to the continued growth of the department

Applicants should have a minimum of 5 years’ PQE and experience in contentious private client work, together with a strong understanding of Scottish succession, trust and executry law. Candidates should be confident managing their own caseload with minimal supervision, possess excellent communication and client care skills, and be comfortable handling sensitive and often complex disputes.

You will be joining a respected and supportive private client team with an established client base and a strong reputation in the Edinburgh market. The role offers high-quality work, genuine opportunities for advancement, flexible working arrangements, and the chance to play a key role in the development of a growing practice area.
