Are you a skilled Solicitor looking for an exciting opportunity to work in-house for a market leader in the healthcare sector? You’ll work alongside experienced professionals, engaging in a varied portfolio of legal matters, from medical malpractice claims to contract negotiation and regulatory compliance.

• Supporting the business in a wide range of legal and regulatory matters.
• Providing leadership and supervisory support within the team as required (for senior candidates)

What We’re Looking For:

• Qualified Solicitor (Scotland) with a current practising certificate from the Law Society of Scotland.
• Strong background in medical malpractice or personal injury litigation.
• Minimum 3 years PQE (although exceptional candidates with the right skills will be considered).
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative legal team.
• Excellent commercial awareness and strong IT and administrative skills.
• Willingness to research and advise on a wide range of legal issues.
• Prior experience mentoring or supervising junior team members is desirable (for senior candidates)
