Harper Macleod Glasgow
1-3 years’ PQE
We’re looking for an experienced solicitor to join our highly acclaimed Commercial Dispute Resolution team, based in our Glasgow office. We would welcome applications from solicitors with between one and three years’ post-qualifying experience in a dispute resolution environment.
We act for clients in the Court of Session, in all Sheriff Courts and Tribunals across Scotland and in the UK Supreme Court. Despite our Scottish footprint, we are proud of our international outlook and reach, regularly acting in cross-border complex disputes in Scotland or supporting our clients in other jurisdictions.
The Role
The role will be varied and challenging but always rewarding. You will be led by a cohort of partners, each of whom are individually recognised in the Legal Directories by our clients and peers. You will advise domestic and international clients on contentious matters across the full range of specialisms, including contract litigation; professional negligence, company disputes, banking and financial services litigation, IP disputes, contentious private client matters, contentious construction and engineering projects, but with a primary focus on property disputes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
When not undertaking client advisory work, we will support you in building your reputation, along with the firm’s, through business development opportunities.
About You
You will join a collaborative and inclusive team, where support and encouragement for personal growth will pave the way for professional growth. You will be an organised, client-focussed team player with excellent interpersonal and technical skills and an attention to detail. You should be able to work confidently in a fast moving environment and handle a diverse workload.
