Apply for the New: Commercial & IP Solicitor (NQ), £53,000, leading national firm, Edinburgh
Location: Glasgow
Job Description:

  • You’d be joining a growing Commercial & IP team at a leading firm, qualifying directly into your preferredpractice area rather than taking an NQ role in a different practice area andhoping to move across later.
  • Here’s what makes this rare: Commercial & IP is the most oversubscribed practice area in Scotland every year, and firms almost always fill it internally from their own trainee cohort. An external NQ vacancy in Commercial &IP in Scotlandis close to unheard of.
  • The work is weighted towards high-growth companies, private equity funds and their portfolio businesses, particularly in the creative industries-commercially driven clients who need contracts and IP advice at pace.
  • Because both the team and the firm are expanding, you’re joining a practice that’s building rather than backfilling.
  • This team’s retention rate is exceptional: most of the team have been there for years.
  • If you’re a 2026-qualifying trainee who wants to qualify intoCommercial & IP in Scotland, this is the one.
