• Kinross, with easy access to Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling and Dundee

Join Us

This is an ideal opportunity for a solicitor who enjoys the breadth and variety of High Street practice but is looking for something increasingly rare, a genuine chance to build a long-term future within a respected independent firm, influence its direction and ultimately become one of its owners.

If you are looking for more than just your next job, and want to play a key role in the future of a well-established practice with strong community values and exciting ambitions, we would be delighted to hear from you.
