Private Client Solicitor (NQ-2 PQE)
Location: Aberdeen
Team: Award Winning North East Private Client Team
Salary: Leading Salary + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
The Role & The Work
Are you a Solicitor looking to build your Private Client career in a team that will invest in your development? This is an opportunity to join a well-established Private Client team in Aberdeen, working alongside experienced practitioners with a strong reputation across the North East.
- Gain exposure to a broad range of Private Client matters, including wills, powers of attorney, executries, trusts, and succession planning.
- Work closely with senior colleagues as you develop your own technical expertise and client relationships.
For an NQ, this is a role where you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your own matters while continuing to learn from an experienced team. If you’re a trainee approaching qualification but haven’t had a dedicated Private Client seat, you may still be considered if you have relevant transferable skills and a clear interest in moving into the area.
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.
The team is busy and growing, with the scope to develop your experience across a varied caseload and build a long-term career within award-winning Private Client. You’ll have access to structured support and development, with the opportunity to work towards further qualifications such as STEP as your career progresses.
Working with one of the most recognized names in the Private Client market, both in Aberdeen and across Scotland, this is a strong platform for Private Client Solicitors looking to work on HNW, complex matters while remaining part of a supportive, down-to-earth team.
Your Experience
- Scottish Qualified Solicitor at NQ–2 PQE, or a trainee approaching qualification.
