Our client, a leading Public Inquiry in Scotland, is seeking qualified Solicitors to join its In-House Legal Team. The inquiry is examining a major national issue and aims to establish key facts and lessons learned, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile statutory process of significant public interest.
As an Assistant Solicitor, you will advise on relevant legislation, manage evidence recovery, and support hearings and report preparation. The role involves analysing large volumes of documents, identifying and interviewing witnesses, liaising with Counsel and participant solicitors, and ensuring compliance with protocols and GDPR requirements. Strong attention to detail, adaptability, and interpersonal skills are essential.
Applicants must be qualified Solicitors or advocates in Scots law with a minimum of 1 year’s PQE. The role is based in Edinburgh with hybrid working available, though flexibility is required during hearings. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract and a rare opportunity to work on a nationally significant inquiry.
If this position could be of interest to you, please do not hesitate to contact either Cameron or Teddie for an initial and confidential discussion. (Assignment 18038)
