We are seeking a dynamic, engaging and dedicated professional for an exciting new post within the contracts and conveyancing team in Legal and Democratic Services.

 

You will be part of a successful and motivated team working in a fast-paced environment and will mainly provide advice and support relating to conveyancing and property work.  There will also be a requirement to assist with contracts and procurement work.

 

You must hold a current Practising Certificate from the Law Society of Scotland, an LL.B and a Diploma in Legal Practice. 

 

Whilst we are seeking a senior solicitor at GR10, we are willing to consider candidates who meet the criteria for appointment to a solicitor role, at GR9, and have the potential to develop to GR10 at a later date.

 

Requirements for GR9 and GR10 include:

  • experience in conveyancing and property law and ability to undertake a range of diverse tasks and achieve successful outcomes;
  • ability to deal with complex legal matters; prioritise a varied workload; work with minimum supervision; and carry out work to a high standard within timescales;
  • awareness of legislative developments;
  • research skills;
  • effective interpersonal and communication, report writing, advocacy and time management skills; and
  • ability to work as a team member as well as on own initiative, and to develop strong links with clients and, when appropriate, with elected members.

 

Additional requirements for GR10 include:

  • an extended period of post qualifying experience;
  • experience in drafting, negotiation and advising on contracts;
  • motivation skills; and
  • supervisory skills.
