Associate / Senior Associate (6-8 PQE) | Banking & Funds

Do you want to develop your career working as part of Scotland’s leading Banking & Funds team, advising clients on significant transactions across the UK and beyond?

We are looking for an Associate / Senior Associate (6-8 PQE) to join our Banking & Funds team in either Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading team in a successful, growing firm.

This role will involve working on a range of matters relating to our banking practice, including in relation to acquisition finance and real estate finance, working for a wide range of borrowers and lenders; and will involve significant exposure to internationally focussed work.

However, the most important qualities the candidate will have are to work hard, to work as a team and to be willing to take responsibility.

You must be pragmatic and results-focussed, and be able to work under pressure and to tight timescales as a member of our team. We are looking for candidates with a positive attitude, a focus on quality and a determination to provide a first-class service.

This is a great opportunity to join a leading team in a successful, growing firm. At Burness Paull we look for style, ambition, innovation, passion and focus.

At the heart of Burness Paull is our independence.

It’s this that gives us the licence to shape our business and culture in the sustainable way we want to, supporting the needs of our people, our clients, our wider community and the environment. It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high-performing in approach.

For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves.

And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you'd expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family-friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues.

We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
