A rare opportunity to join the Banking Knowledge team within an international law firm as a Professional Support Lawyer. The successful applicant will initially be focusing on knowledge projects relating to the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023.
This role can be based in the Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen office and will be on a part-time basis. Flexible and agile options can also be considered and discussed.
The successful individual will be proactive, self-motivated, and highly organised, and will bring opinions and ideas to the table, both in respect of optimising their role and delivering the know-how and training required by the Scottish Banking Team.
They will have an important role in the Scottish Banking Team, working alongside the English PSLs and the know how partners to enhance business functionality as well as being a “go to” for fee earner support.
This role would ideally suit an experienced banking & finance lawyer with at least 6 years of PQE who is capable of gaining the respect and confidence of fee earners (at all levels) and partners on technical issues and whose work product will, indirectly, command the respect of the team’s clients and targets. They must also be able to demonstrate a high level of technical legal knowledge and expertise, together with expanding peripheral knowledge and expertise.
Experience in a fee-earning or PSL role within a large law firm is useful, but certainly not essential.
