An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Trainee to join our busy real estate team based in Glasgow. The role is a two-year placement within our Scottish real estate team, primarily focused on telecoms, with opportunities to collaborate with real estate colleagues across the UK on nationwide projects.
Our real estate department handles all aspects of transactional and contentious commercial real estate work, including telecoms, development, investment, asset management, construction, and landlord/tenant matters. Our clients include telecom operators, property management and development companies, house builders, health trusts, government bodies (local and central), owner-occupiers, and institutions, both in the UK and overseas.
With offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, we are expanding our Scottish services, providing seamless cross-border support backed by full national and international resources.
