Land & Property Solicitor

We have an exciting opportunity to join one of our Land & Property Teams. Consideration will be given to those qualifying in 2024, as well as solicitors and above with post qualification experience of general rural conveyancing.  However, candidates with experience in on-shore renewables, commercial property, development land sales or other fields of property law and having sound practical and commercial knowledge of Scottish property transactions would also be welcome

The role will principally be based in our Edinburgh office, but the Firm supports a hybrid working approach through our Smarter Working policy. We are also open to either part-time or full-time candidates.

Responsibilities

Successful candidates will be expected to handle a range of rural conveyancing matters, including some or all of the sale, purchase and leasing of farms, estates, forests, fishings, country homes and other rural properties in Scotland and generally providing advice with regard to any conveyancing matters that arise in the course of the management, financing and development of property. There may also be opportunities to be involved in on-shore renewable energy projects and sales to house builders.  

There is scope for the role to be more focussed on one or more of the areas described above, if a candidate has particular experience or a desire to specialise in a particular field of property work.

In providing advice to clients, you will work with other tax and succession, charity law, family law, employment law and litigation experts to ensure that fully integrated holistic advice is given to our clients.

Skills/Qualifications

In order to be successful, you will be a strong team player with sound practical property law experience and enthusiasm to develop your technical skills and legal career in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

You will be self-sufficient, commercially aware and able to handle a wide variety of challenging work.

Turcan Connell will provide you with a fantastic opportunity to build on your career in an environment with an unrivalled reputation.  The Firm is committed to developing talent and provides outstanding training opportunities within a collegiate working environment.
