Description
• You'd be joining a growing Commercial & IP team at a leading firm, qualifying directly into your preferred practice area rather than taking an NQ role in a different practice area and hoping to move across later. • Here's what makes this rare: Commercial & IP is the most oversubscribed practice area in Scotland every year, and firms almost always fill it internally from their own trainee cohort. An external NQ vacancy in Commercial & IP in Scotland is close to unheard of. • The work is weighted towards high-growth companies, private equity funds and their portfolio businesses, particularly in the creative industries - commercially driven clients who need contracts and IP advice at pace. • Because both the team and the firm are expanding, you're joining a practice that's building rather than backfilling. • This team's retention rate is exceptional: most of the team have been there for years. • If you're a 2026-qualifying trainee who wants to qualify into Commercial & IP in Scotland, this is the one.
