New: Commercial & IP Solicitor (NQ), £53,000, leading national firm, Edinburgh

Job Description

n
• You'd be joining a growing Commercial & IP team at a leading firm, qualifying directly into your preferred practice area rather than taking an NQ role in a different practice area and hoping to move across later.

n

• 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 Scotland is close to unheard of.

n

• 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.

n

• Because both the team and the firm are expanding, you're joining a practice that's building rather than backfilling.

n

• This team's retention rate is exceptional: most of the team have been there for years.

n

• If you're a 2026-qualifying trainee who wants to qualify into Commercial & IP in Scotland, this is the one.
