Defendant Personal Injury Solicitor (0 - 4 years' PQE)

We are looking for a solicitor to join one of Scotland’s largest and leading personal injury teams. You’ll join a talented team, which is highly recommended in both Chambers UK and The Legal 500 and which includes four Law Society of Scotland Accredited Specialists.

The successful candidate will report to Partner and Solicitor Advocate Suzanne McGarrigle and work exclusively on defendant work.  The role involves dealing with a variety of cases including road traffic, employer liability, public liability and industrial disease claims.  

We act for a diverse range of clients ranging from public bodies through to insurers and private individuals.  This creates an interesting range of work and an exciting opportunity to be part of, and develop within, a large Personal Injury team.

Let your ambitions and ours go hand in hand.

At Harper Macleod you’ll be part of a collective effort that is never satisfied: celebrating the successes and inspiring one another to always improve. You want to deliver extraordinary results for your clients. We want to deliver extraordinary opportunities for you and encourage you to make a difference.

Harper Macleod’s culture is the sum of the actions of the people who make up our business – it’s built around taking calculated risks and pushing for innovative solutions. You know the law, but you also know that there’s much more to being a lawyer than that.

You know that doing things the right way is always the best way – the right things for clients, colleagues, and our communities. We will never compromise on this.

We also embrace flexibility – including when and where our people work. We are a business that has been named Law Firm of the Year eight times, ranked in The Times Scotland Best Law Firms 2024, and named ESG Firm of the Year. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, active colleague engagement, wellbeing, sustainability & CSR programmes, and the opportunity to develop your career.

We believe the best is yet to come for Harper Macleod. If this sounds like the type of firm you’d like to be part of, maybe the best is yet to come for you?

Harper Macleod LLP is committed to promoting equal opportunities and developing a diverse workforce.
