Overview

Rooney Family Law is a specialist Scottish family law firm committed to providing clear, pragmatic, and compassionate legal advice. While our head office is in Uddingston, we welcome applications from solicitors based throughout the central belt and beyond. We have eight years of operation, strong staff retention, and a modern, paper-light practice using LEAP as our cloud-based case management system. We offer remote consultations via video or telephone and are accessible, flexible, and forward-thinking in our client service approach.

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Family Law Solicitor to join our expanding team. This is a full-time position (part-time will be considered) with hybrid working arrangements. The role combines the flexibility of working from home with in-person commitments, including court appearances and client meetings. Location is not restricted to our Uddingston office, although some travel within Scotland will be required.

The successful candidate will manage a varied caseload, including divorce, financial provision, separation agreements, cohabitation claims, and child law. You will provide robust, strategic advice; draft and negotiate agreements; represent clients in Sheriff Court and Court of Session proceedings; and build and maintain strong client relationships.

We are looking for a solicitor who can think beyond the conventional, is willing to challenge the status quo, and is driven to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.

Qualifications

• Minimum of two years’ post-qualification experience in Scottish family law.
• Strong track record in handling complex financial provision and child law matters.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team.
• Excellent written and oral advocacy skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience with cloud-based practice management systems.
• Commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate, and pragmatic advice.

Salary and Benefits

• Bonus incentives linked to performance.
• Hybrid working model with flexibility.

• Opportunities for career development within a growing, modern practice.
• Supportive working culture with 100% staff retention since the firm was founded.
