Residential Conveyancing Associate (3-6 PQE)

Residential Conveyancing Solicitor (3-6 PQE)

Location: Edinburgh

Firm: L500 Ranked Firm with an Established Reputation in the Scottish Market

Salary: Lucrative Salary + Attractive Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits

The Role & The Work

A growing and ambitious L500 ranked firm in Edinburgh is launching a newly established Residential Conveyancing team under the leadership of a highly regarded Partner with a strong reputation in the high-net-worth market.

While the firm is recognised across multiple practice areas in the L500, this Edinburgh residential offering represents an exciting new phase of strategic growth. You will join at an early stage of the team’s development, playing a central role in building a premium client base in the capital, while benefiting from the infrastructure, systems and reputation of a well-established national firm.

The Edinburgh focus is on high-net-worth clients, complex transactions and a refined, service-led approach. You can therefore expect exposure to high-value, lower-volume work where quality, precision and client relationships take priority over volume-driven caseloads.

Working closely with the incoming Partner, you will handle residential sales, purchases, remortgages and transfers of title from instruction through to completion, providing clear and commercially sound advice while delivering an exceptional client experience. As the team grows, you will have genuine scope to take on greater responsibility, contribute to business development and help shape the direction and culture of the Edinburgh offering.

Whether you are recently qualified and looking to build your expertise in a premium environment, or a more experienced solicitor seeking greater autonomy and progression, this role offers a clear pathway for development within a supportive and well-resourced firm.

Your Experience

• 3-6 years’ PQE in Residential Conveyancing
• Strong experience managing transactions independently from instruction through to completion, including higher-value and more complex matters
• Confident in taking ownership of client relationships and acting as a trusted adviser throughout the transaction lifecycle
• Experience supervising or mentoring junior colleagues, with a willingness to support their development
• Commercially aware and proactive, with a genuine interest in contributing to business development and growing a high-quality client base
• Comfortable working closely with senior leadership and contributing to the strategic development of a growing Edinburgh team

Why This Role?

• Join a L500 ranked firm, recognised across Scotland
• Be part of a newly formed Edinburgh team with clear strategic growth plans
• Exposure to high-net-worth clients and high-value transactions
• Work directly with a well-regarded Partner known for mentorship and market credibility
• National infrastructure and streamlined systems, allowing you to focus on client relationships rather than administration
• Genuine scope for progression as the team expands
• Lucrative salary, exceptional bonus structure and an expansive benefits package
