Any business is only as good as its people – you are the first link to our clients and the face and personality of the firm. Teamwork is central to the way we work together, with all our clients and the way we manage our business.
We are recruiting for Trainee Solicitors across all offices to join us in September 2025 and to specialise in one practice area for two years.
At Harper Macleod, our traineeships are challenging and we encourage you to take responsibility from the start, but we’re guessing you are already ambitious and will push yourself to be better. Needless to say, support is provided all the way and you have the opportunity to take part in a fantastic training programme tailored to our business. You can also look forward to getting involved with groups such as social, wellbeing and sustainability, as well as providing pro-bono work to charities and up-and-coming entrepreneurs. We also host trainee-specific networking events, and much more! We embrace flexibility – including when and where our people work.
Do you want to be part of our future together?
This year we are recruiting for specialist Trainees to focus on one practice area for the duration of their traineeship. We have specialist traineeships available in the following areas:
A specialist traineeship is ideal if you already know which area you want to focus on. It will enable you to gain an in-depth knowledge of this area more quickly and allow you to establish yourself in the team, building relationships and increasing your technical skills in one area.
Our Trainees are our potential Partners of the future. We will develop and invest in you throughout your traineeship and beyond.
We have been named Law Firm of the Year eight times, ranked in The Times Scotland Best Law Firms 2024 and recently named ESG Firm of the Year. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, active colleague engagement, wellbeing, sustainability and CSR programmes. 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?
The application process closes on Friday 28 February 2025.
