Legal Recruitment
Legal Recruitment
In Scotland, the legal sector is growing quickly, with many practices expanding or merging to foster growth.
In a highly competitive market, Scottish law firms are working hard to attract candidates from all over the UK. As wage inflation in the sector continues, employers need high-performing employees to justify higher salaries.
For candidates, demonstrating the value they can bring to prospective employers will help them stand out. That includes skills, experience and qualifications, as well as the less tangible qualities like motivation and strong cultural fit.
Our specialist legal team - which operates like a legal recruitment agency - partners with candidates and clients across Scotland, the wider UK and internationally. Here in Scotland, we work closely with clients in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
We regularly source lawyers, solicitors, paralegals and other legal professionals, in areas including:
-
Commercial Law
-
Civil
-
Compliance
-
Employment
-
Human Rights
-
Property
Finding a Legal role
Firms across Scotland are looking for exceptional legal professionals to join their teams. As one of the best legal recruitment agencies in Scotland, we work with companies searching for lawyers, solicitors and paralegals at every stage of their careers, from traineeships to executives.
Wages are increasing in line with the competition to attract the best employees. But in return, companies want to understand how candidates can add value to their organisations. We can help you communicate your value by drilling down into your qualifications, job history and soft skills.
Whether you’re already based in Scotland, or considering a move from another part of the UK or further afield, we can notify you when a suitable job opportunity goes live and help you prepare for assessments and interviews.
Because we’re interested in making great matches for the long term, we’ll only put you forward for positions we believe align with your goals and motivations, and at companies where we think you’ll be an excellent fit.
If you’re ready for your next career move, take a look at our live legal roles. Or, upload your CV to be notified when a suitable vacancy goes live.
