Overview
Rooney Family Law is a specialist Scottish family law firm committed to providing clear, pragmatic, and compassionate legal advice. While our head office is in Uddingston, we welcome applications from solicitors based throughout the central belt and beyond. We have eight years of operation, strong staff retention, and a modern, paper-light practice using LEAP as our cloud-based case management system. We offer remote consultations via video or telephone and are accessible, flexible, and forward-thinking in our client service approach.
Role Description
We are seeking an experienced Family Law Solicitor to join our expanding team. This is a full-time position (part-time will be considered) with hybrid working arrangements. The role combines the flexibility of working from home with in-person commitments, including court appearances and client meetings. Location is not restricted to our Uddingston office, although some travel within Scotland will be required.
The successful candidate will manage a varied caseload, including divorce, financial provision, separation agreements, cohabitation claims, and child law. You will provide robust, strategic advice; draft and negotiate agreements; represent clients in Sheriff Court and Court of Session proceedings; and build and maintain strong client relationships.
We are looking for a solicitor who can think beyond the conventional, is willing to challenge the status quo, and is driven to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
