Blueridge Legal is a niche, Scottish-based law firm providing focused, high-quality legal services. We pride ourselves on being modern, flexible and lawyer-led, offering an alternative to the traditional law firm model. As we continue to grow, we are looking to work with experienced lawyers who want autonomy, flexibility and a genuine share in the value they create.
The Opportunity
We are seeking senior, experienced solicitors to join Blueridge Legal on a fee-sharing basis. This role is ideal for lawyers who want to step away from rigid structures and billing targets, while continuing to practise at a high level.

- Delivering high-quality legal advice and client care
- Developing and maintaining client relationships
- Generating work through your own network (with marketing support where required)
- Working collaboratively with the wider Blueridge Legal team when needed
What We’re Looking For
- Qualified Scottish solicitor
- Senior-level experience (typically 7+ years PQE, though this is flexible)
- Strong technical ability in your chosen practice area
- An existing client base or proven ability to generate work
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire for flexibility and autonomy
- Professional, client-focused and commercially aware
What We Offer
- Attractive fee-sharing arrangement
- 100% remote / work from home
- Complete flexibility over working hours and workload
- No billing targets or micromanagement
- Reduced overheads compared to traditional practice
- Support with compliance, systems, branding and administration
- The freedom to grow your practice without firm politics
How to Apply
If you are an experienced Scottish solicitor interested in a more flexible and rewarding way of working, we would love to hear from you. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence.
