Senior Solicitor/Associate (2-6 PQE) | Construction & Projects Build your future where the foundations are strong – and the disputes are even stronger. We’re looking for a Senior Solicitor/Associate (2–6 PQE) with a passion for high-stakes disputes, tight deadlines, and complex contracts to join our market-leading contentious construction team in either our Edinburgh or Glasgow office. This is a rare opportunity to join a top-tier team known for its exceptional work in construction disputes across Scotland. You’ll work alongside recognised experts on some of the most exciting and complex contentious matters in the market, advising clients on strategy, risk management, and dispute resolution across high-value and often high-profile construction, infrastructure, and power projects. You’ll act for a broad range of major clients – including developers, contractors, and consultants – across litigation, arbitration, adjudication, and other forms of ADR. Our team is consistently ranked in the top tiers of legal directories and is known for the quality of its advice, insight, and client service. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for someone with excellent technical ability, a commercial mindset, and proven experience in contentious construction.

Burness Paull reserves the right to close this vacancy early if a sufficient number of applications are received for this role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible. Closing Date: 19 December 2025 At the heart of Burness Paull is our independence. It’s this that gives us the licence to shape our business and culture in the sustainable way we want to, supporting the needs of our people, our clients, our wider community and the environment. It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high-performing in approach. For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves. And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you'd expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues. We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
