Job description

Are you ready to take a significant step forward in your legal career? QED Legal is working with a highly respected international law firm that is seeking to appoint a Senior Associate Solicitor to its Glasgow office. This is an exceptional opportunity for a solicitor with between 4 and 10 years’ post-qualification experience to step into a pivotal role within a thriving practice focused on telecoms and commercial asset management—two sectors that are undergoing rapid evolution and continued growth.

Perhaps you’re currently working within a commercial property or infrastructure team and are now seeking a role with greater autonomy, exposure to complex, high-value transactions, and the chance to take a more visible role in client relationships. Or maybe you already have telecoms sector experience and are looking for the kind of environment where your expertise will be recognised and rewarded, and where you can help shape the strategic direction of a key area of the business.

This role will see you working on a wide range of sophisticated matters across the telecoms and asset management landscape. You’ll be leading on transactions involving site acquisitions, leases, and network infrastructure agreements, while also advising clients on major commercial property deals across the UK. The work is intellectually engaging and commercially impactful, and you’ll be dealing directly with high-profile clients operating at the cutting edge of their industries. You’ll also play an active role in mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to business development initiatives.

The firm itself is known for its forward-thinking approach, exceptional client service, and collaborative internal culture. It has a strong presence in the telecoms and infrastructure sectors, and it offers clear, achievable pathways for career progression. You’ll benefit from genuine flexibility, a sensible approach to hybrid working, and a supportive leadership team that encourages ambition and entrepreneurial thinking.

If you're a commercially astute, confident solicitor with relevant sector experience and a desire to make your mark in a high-performing team, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. To find out more or to arrange a confidential discussion, contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal today. There’s no obligation—just a conversation about what could come next.
