About Blueridge Legal
Blueridge Legal is a niche, Scottish-based law firm providing focused, high-quality legal services. We pride ourselves on being modern, flexible and lawyer-led, offering an alternative to the traditional law firm model. As we continue to grow, we are looking to work with experienced lawyers who want autonomy, flexibility and a genuine share in the value they create.
The Opportunity
We are seeking senior, experienced solicitors to join Blueridge Legal on a fee-sharing basis. This role is ideal for lawyers who want to step away from rigid structures and billing targets, while continuing to practise at a high level.
You will manage your own client matters, supported by Blueridge Legal’s brand, systems and infrastructure, allowing you to focus on what you do best - advising clients.

* Delivering high-quality legal advice and client care
* Developing and maintaining client relationships
* Generating work through your own network (with marketing support where required)
* Working collaboratively with the wider Blueridge Legal team when needed
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Scottish solicitor
* Senior-level experience (typically 7+ years PQE, though this is flexible)
* Strong technical ability in your chosen practice area
* An existing client base or proven ability to generate work
* Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire for flexibility and autonomy
* Professional, client-focused and commercially aware
What We Offer
* Attractive fee-sharing arrangement
* 100% remote / work from home
* Complete flexibility over working hours and workload
* No billing targets or micromanagement
* Reduced overheads compared to traditional practice
* Support with compliance, systems, branding and administration
* The freedom to grow your practice without firm politics
How to Apply
If you are an experienced Scottish solicitor interested in a more flexible and rewarding way of working, we would love to hear from you. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence.
