I'm working with one of Scotland's most dynamic law firms of the past few years - a firm with a proven, enviable track record of taking senior hires and building them into genuinely formidable Partners. This is a business that moves with purpose, invests decisively, and knows how to turn ambition into market presence. They are now looking to appoint a Private Client Legal Director or Partner to lead, grow and ultimately define a core practice area within the firm.Private Client work sits at the heart of this firm's success. The department already enjoys a strong, consistent pipeline of high-quality instructions and an established, loyal client base. This is not a speculative hire and it is not a "bring us a following and we'll see" conversation. The work is there, the confidence is there, and the firm is ready to double down. A sophisticated marketing and business development operation will be put behind you, with genuine intent to raise your profile and accelerate growth.What truly sets this opportunity apart is the level of trust and autonomy on offer. You will be given the freedom to build something that is unmistakably yours - shaping the department's direction, developing the team, influencing firm-wide strategy and deciding what long-term success looks like. Whether your strength lies in complex estates, trusts, tax and succession planning, or a broad private client practice, this is a platform designed to amplify strong leadership rather than constrain it.This role will resonate with senior associates or Legal Directors who know they are ready for more and want their next step to actually mean something - as well as Partners who are frustrated by internal politics, limited support or hollow promises elsewhere. This firm has a track record of backing its people properly and giving them the space to build practices, reputations and legacies that endure.If you are serious about building something of lasting value - not just advancing your title, but shaping a department, a team and a reputation in the Scottish market - this is a conversation you should be having.For a confidential discussion, speak to Neil at QED Legal . This is an opportunity for ambitious Private Client lawyers who want more influence, more backing and the chance to leave a genuine legacy.
