An excellent opportunity has arisen for a solicitor to join a well-established Scottish law firm in Edinburgh, working within a specialist team advising on a broad range of energy, infrastructure and strategic land matters.
This is an exciting opportunity for a property solicitor looking to develop their experience within the renewables and energy sector, with exposure to high-quality and varied projects across Scotland and the wider UK.
The Role
You will undertake a range of commercial property and related transactional work connected to energy, infrastructure and strategic land projects.
Working as part of an experienced and supportive team, you will have the opportunity to manage your own matters while also contributing to larger and more complex transactions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
