Job Description
What if you didn’t have to choose between leading a successful real estate practice today and building a future in renewable energy tomorrow?
At senior level, those choices can feel even more defined—lean fully into traditional real estate or pivot into a specialist sector. But what if you could do both, and do it in a way that strengthens your long-term career?
QED Legal’s client, a top-tier law firm, is offering a rare opportunity for a Legal Director to take on a pivotal role within its real estate team in Glasgow or Edinburgh—one that genuinely bridges mainstream real estate and the fast-evolving renewable energy sector.
This is a role designed for someone who wants to operate at a strategic level while continuing to build a broad, high-quality practice. You’ll lead on a wide range of transactions across hospitality, retail, and commercial real estate, maintaining the depth and diversity that underpins a strong and resilient practice. Alongside this, you’ll play an integral role in supporting and growing the firm’s presence in renewable energy projects—gaining exposure to a sector that is reshaping the market.
Crucially, this isn’t about stepping away from what you already do well. It’s about adding a powerful new dimension to your skillset. You’ll work closely with highly regarded Partners who are deeply invested in developing the next generation of senior leaders—offering not just oversight, but meaningful collaboration as you expand your expertise into energy-related work.
With a platform that encourages autonomy and recognises the importance of profile-building, you’ll be empowered to strengthen client relationships, contribute to business development, and shape your own practice in a way that aligns with both your interests and market demand.
The variety of work on offer ensures you remain commercially grounded, while your growing exposure to renewable energy positions you at the forefront of a sector with long-term global significance. It’s a combination that offers not only professional fulfilment, but also genuine career resilience in an evolving market.
This is more than a step up in title—it’s an opportunity to future-proof your career, broaden your influence, and establish yourself as a key figure at the intersection of real estate and clean energy.
If you’re ready to take on a role that offers both leadership and forward momentum, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
