The Role & The Work
This is a standout opportunity for a dual-qualified Family Solicitor (Scotland & England/Wales) to join a Tier 2-ranked Family team in Edinburgh, operating at the forefront of cross-border family law.
You will join a team with a well-established and growing Scottish and English Family team, working on high-quality and complex matters spanning both jurisdictions. This role is ideal for a solicitor who is confident navigating the nuances of cross-border family law and enjoys delivering strategic advice across UK legal systems.
Acting for a diverse client base, you will advise on financial remedy and children matters, many involving multi-jurisdictional considerations. You will play a key role in delivering clear, commercially aware and empathetic guidance, often in sensitive and high-value cases.
From day one, you will take ownership of your own caseload, managing matters from instruction through to resolution, while building long-term client relationships and strengthening your position as a trusted adviser across both Scottish and English law.
The team operates in a collaborative and supportive way, offering you the autonomy to develop your practice while working alongside colleagues who are deeply invested in your progression.
There is also a clear opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of the firm’s cross-border family offering, whether through mentoring junior lawyers, enhancing internal knowledge across jurisdictions or playing a role in business development initiatives.
This is a firm that does things differently. With a genuine focus on flexibility, culture and long-term careers, you will benefit from high-quality work without the intensity of larger City firms, allowing you to build a successful and sustainable career in Edinburgh.
