This job is with CMS, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Please do not contact the recruiter directly.

A unique opportunity to gain frontline access to some of Scotland's leading businesses. Be a part of an innovative unit, working directly with clients.

About Us

CMS is a Future Facing firm with more than 80 offices in over 45 countries and 5,800+ lawyers worldwide. We combine deep local market understanding with a global perspective. We are passionate about building strong relationships with our clients, our people, and the communities we work in.

We take a bold, dynamic, and agile approach to ensure our clients are able to face the future with confidence. We are driven by emerging technologies such as generative AI and readily embrace the possibilities it opens up for developing new and better ways of working. Our aim is to inspire, impact and support our clients and our people, helping them to maximize their potential and thrive.

About The Role

Want to be a part of the revolutionising of legal service delivery in Scotland? Interested in gaining the benefit of time in-house without losing the technical edge of private practice? CMS are growing their new proposition for key clients, working with flagship Scottish businesses and fast-growing disruptors.

The role offers the chance to work within a recently-created team, who will be seconded regularly and on a strategic basis to key clients. You will be able to develop strong commercial and client facing skills, work on new service delivery models and gain a significant commercial perspective.

Prior to secondment opportunities, you will receive full training and integration within the relevant practice group team, allowing you to integrate with the client and then return back to CMS in between or at the end of secondments. We are looking for lawyers based in Edinburgh or Glasgow with some travel flexibility.

About You

If you are looking to gain greater client exposure, work with some of the most innovative Scottish businesses and evolve a new model of legal service delivery, then get in touch.

We are particularly looking for lawyers with good commercial contracts experience, based in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

We would also be interested in those with in-house experience.

We are looking for a range of experience levels, from 2 to 5 years' PQE.
