Job description

Would you like to join Scotland’s leading dealmakers, working as part of our growing Corporate Tax team? We are looking to recruit a Senior Solicitor (2-4 PQE) for our Tax team in Edinburgh or Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading team in a successful, growing firm, working closely with our Tax Partners, Ronnie Brown and Christine Yuill.

You will have the opportunity to be part of a busy team with a strong pipeline of ongoing transactional work to support. There is a real appetite for growing the practice – it is part of our strategic growth plan. This is a great opportunity for someone to get in at the early stage of the growth and to be a key part of its increasing success.

The successful candidate should have excellent tax experience gained with a top-quality law or accountancy firm. You must be pragmatic and results-focused and be able to work under pressure and to tight timescales as a key member of our team.

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 stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to support our colleagues.

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