This role will involve a broad range of family law matters and is suited to a solicitor who is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland in family law, or who is committed to gaining accreditation. Key responsibilities include managing a personal caseload of family law matters with minimal supervision, delivering direct legal support and advice to clients, navigating Sheriff Court procedures, and handling financial provision cases, particularly those involving complex or high-net-worth issues.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 2 years’ PQE, with strong experience in family law and a working knowledge of Sheriff Court procedures. Experience with Court of Session work would be advantageous, though not essential.
