NQ (3 years’ PQE) Solicitor

We are trusted and respected legal and tax planning experts and our approach to providing a personal, discreet and tailored service to our clients is key to our success since the Firm was established in 1997.
The Firm acts on behalf of individuals, entrepreneurs, landowners and works with charities, philanthropists, and trustees to guide and manage complex legal and financial affairs on their behalf. Our values make our clients feel looked after.
With a close-knit team of around 230 colleagues including 26 Partners across offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, Turcan Connell’s comprehensive service covers everything required for efficient tax, estate and succession planning as well as advice on the many aspects of land and property management and transactional activity. We also handle the complexities of divorce and family law, employment law and dispute resolution advice and provide a range of business law services to our clients.
Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified to three years’ qualified solicitor to join one of our tax & succession teams on a full-time permanent basis.
The role will principally be based in our Edinburgh office although we support a hybrid working approach once sufficient experience of performing the role has been obtained.
Roles and Responsibilities
The successful candidate will ideally have had experience during their traineeship or subsequent practice in tax and succession matters, including trusts and executries.
In providing advice to clients, you will work with other tax and succession, land and property, business law, charity law, family law, employment law and litigation experts to provide joined-up advice to our clients.
Person Specification
In order to be successful, you will be a strong team player with sound practical experience and enthusiasm to develop your technical skills and legal career further in a supportive environment.
The ability to work directly and professionally with clients and colleagues of all levels is required. As you will become a trusted adviser and sounding board to our clients, you will need to have an interest in people and their affairs, whilst acting with discretion and empathy.
You will be self-sufficient, commercially aware and able to handle a wide variety of challenging work.
A high level of discretion and confidentiality is a requirement of this role, as you will be exposed to sensitive client data and financial information.
Turcan Connell will provide you with the opportunity to build on your career and realise your ambitions in an environment with an unrivalled reputation, and a commitment to our colleagues as individuals. We invest in the development of our talent and provide outstanding training opportunities within a congenial working environment. We have a very strong team across the Firm, and many of our colleagues have chosen to invest their whole career at the Firm. Through living our Firm’s values, we make you feel looked after.
