About The Role
Want to be part of the revolutionising of legal service delivery in Scotland? Interested in gaining the benefit of time in-house without losing the technical edge of private practice?

The role offers the chance to work within a team who are dedicated to client secondments. In this role you will be seconded regularly and on a strategic basis to key clients.

Prior to secondment opportunities, you will receive full training and integration within our award-winning Real Estate team, allowing you to integrate with the client and then return back to CMS in between or at the end of secondments. We are looking for lawyers based in Edinburgh or Glasgow with some travel flexibility.
About You
If you have strong real estate experience and are looking to gain greater client exposure, work with some of the most innovative Scottish businesses and help to evolve a new model of legal service delivery, then get in touch. We would be particularly interested in those with in-house or secondment experience. We are looking for a range of experience levels, from 2 to 5 years' PQE.
