Referment is working with a Scottish commercial law firm based in Glasgow. The firm advises corporate and institutional clients across a wide range of sectors, on both transactional and contentious matters, and is looking for a senior Scots-qualified litigator to join its dispute resolution practice.
You'll take a senior position in a close-knit litigation team, handling commercial disputes with particular weight in property litigation, insolvency and company law. Alongside your own caseload, the role carries real responsibility for business development and management — the firm wants someone ambitious who can help grow the practice, not simply service it.
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.
