Ready to step into a Supervising Solicitor role?   Join an entrepreneurial legal firm, supporting scaling businesses

At Jamieson Law, we’re passionate about empowering ambitious entrepreneurs and growth-oriented businesses with expert legal guidance tailored to their unique needs. Founded in 2018, and run by founders Barbara Neilan and Lynne Riddell, we’ve built a reputation for being a strategic legal partner who understands the intricacies of growing a business. Our team is committed to providing pragmatic, commercially sound advice across a range of specialties including corporate law, intellectual property, commercial contracts, and employment policies.

Our entrepreneurial spirit means we know what it takes to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the business world. We pride ourselves on being responsive, commercially aware, and always in our clients’ corner, helping them achieve their business goals and secure long-term success.  That means we work beyond the tick boxes, beyond the status quo and beyond the bland, stuffiness of typical legal firms.  We work collaboratively and innovatively, always looking ahead and anticipating what’s next for our clients.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a talented and driven Supervising Solicitor to join our team. If you’re a seasoned commercial and/or corporate lawyer who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves working with scaling businesses, and is ready to take on a leadership role, we’d love to hear from you.

• Advising on a range of commercial and corporate matters, including contracts, shareholder agreements, M&A transactions, commercial leases, and employment law.
• Leading complex legal projects for high-growth businesses, including investment rounds and business sales and acquisitions.
• Supporting strategic decision-making for clients, offering commercially astute advice that aligns with their growth plans.
