Senior Solicitor

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 573 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities. We are delighted to have been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Solicitor to work within the University.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a welcoming and international community of more than 9,000 talented people. This role is ideal for a practicing solicitor with significant experience in drafting and negotiating the terms and conditions of a wide variety of commercial contracts, who thrives in a dynamic and fast paced environment and who has a genuine interest in supporting the University’s world changing research.

Whilst the focus of the role is commercial contracts, there are opportunities to provide high quality legal advice and support to University staff on a wide range of matters. In performing the role, you will ensure maximum benefit to the University whilst appropriately managing risk and intellectual property issues and ensuring compliance with legislation and University policies.

You will support the strategic and operational management of the Legal & Contracts Team and provide support, supervision and advice to solicitor and non-solicitor team members (including Trainee Solicitors).
