- Energy related disputes
- Enforcement of restrictive covenants

You should be qualified as a solicitor in Scotland and have at least 6 months experience in a civil litigation team. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious, hardworking, and self-motivated lawyer who can demonstrate excellent legal capability with strong attention to detail.
Freeths' national and award-winning Commercial Disputes Resolution ("CDR") team comprises over 100 lawyers across our 13 national offices. The national CDR team was awarded UK Litigation Team of the Year by The Lawyer Awards 2020 and the equivalent award by The British Legal Awards 2020 for taking on a major High Court group action against the Post Office, which exposed one of the largest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. Freeths opened in Glasgow in June 2023 with the benefit of this reputation and have continued to grow since then. The quality of the team's client base is impressive, and the team is proud to act for a wide range of clients based across Scotland, the UK and internationally, including several household-name corporates. The CDR team in Scotland is headed by Alan McDonald. We are now looking to expand the CDR team in Scotland as it grows along with the other teams in Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity for a circa 0 - 2 PQE lawyer to join the team and advance their own career.
You will be adaptable, organised, enthusiastic, and eager to learn with an interest in business development. In return we offer a great salary, competitive benefits and excellent training and career prospects.
