A UK global law firm is currently recruiting a Solicitor to join its expanding Property & Liability team in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. This is a key opportunity to work on complex, high‑value matters involving property damage, liability claims, and subrogated recoveries for major insurers and commercial clients.
You will handle a varied caseload involving multi‑million‑pound losses, advising on coverage issues, disputes, and recovery strategies. Working within a highly regarded team, you will also supervise junior lawyers and contribute to ongoing business development and client relationships. The firm is also open to candidates with experience in other litigation areas given the breadth of work.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Manage a high‑value caseload of complex property damage, liability, and recovery matters.
2. Advise insurers, reinsurers, and corporate clients on coverage, strategy, and dispute resolution.
3. Draft, review, and negotiate legal documentation and correspondence.
4. Lead on client relationships and ensure proactive, commercially focused service delivery.
5. Supervise and mentor junior lawyers and trainees within the team.
6. Contribute to pitches, client training, and other business development initiatives.
7. Collaborate across the firm’s wider network to provide integrated legal solutions.
8. Maintain strong technical knowledge of relevant legal, regulatory, and market developments.
Candidates should have 1+ year PQE and be admitted as a solicitor in Scotland with strong experience in insurance, property damage, liability, or wider commercial litigation. Excellent drafting, analytical, negotiation, and advocacy skills are essential, along with the ability to manage a busy, complex workload independently. Experience acting for insurers or large commercial clients will be a strong advantage. The firm offers a competitive salary and a supportive, collaborative working culture.
