DISPUTES - OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS ON ADVOCACY - EDINBURGH [ANY PQE] - #2186071

READY TO MAKE ADVOCACY A BIGGER PART OF YOUR CAREER? - ANY LEVEL OF PQE

Great new opportunity for those who have a strong interest in advocacy and are looking to develop a career focused on representing clients and progressing cases.

The role sits within a Dispute Resolution team, with a focus on advocacy, case strategy and representing clients across the Scottish Courts and Tribunals.

You may have existing advocacy experience, be qualified as a solicitor advocate or keen to develop their skills towards qualification.

Above all, enthusiasm for advocacy, confidence in decision-making and ambition to build a career in this area are essential.

Gain experience across different forms of dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Develop your advocacy skills through hands-on experience and structured support.
• Appear in court and undertake advocacy as your experience develops.
• Prepare for and conduct hearings, motions and other procedural matters.
• Work on complex litigation from initial instruction through to resolution.
• Develop strong technical, analytical and drafting skills.
• Work closely with Partners, senior lawyers and other specialists across the firm.
• Advise clients directly and develop your ability to communicate complex issues clearly and confidently.
• Gain experience across different forms of dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.
• Build your own profile and develop a career focused on advocacy.
• For someone who already has advocacy experience, this is an opportunity to move beyond advocacy being one part of a broader litigation role and make it what you do.
• For someone earlier in their advocacy journey, it provides the opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners and develop those skills in a supportive environment with a view to becoming a solicitor advocate.

PERSON SPECIFICATION

We’re interested in hearing from Scottish-qualified lawyers with a background in litigation who are genuinely interested in developing or furthering a career in advocacy.

You might be:

• A solicitor who already undertakes some advocacy and wants to do considerably more.
• An experienced litigator, who has had limited advocacy opportunities, looking for a role where advocacy can become the sole focus of their career.
• A solicitor who is considering pursuing, or is already working towards, the Solicitor Advocate qualification.
