Current Vacancies

Digby Brown has been one of the success stories of the Scottish legal sector of the past decade – we now operate in seven regional areas across Scotland, having tripled in size in the last 11 years.

We are top ranked by the two global legal watchdogs (Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500) for personal injury work. Chambers & Partners has awarded us Band 1 for nineteen years while The Legal 500 has ranked Digby Brown as a Tier 1 firm for fifteen years.

Digby Brown has also been voted Scottish Law Firm of the Year first in 2015 then again in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022, been repeatedly recognised with multiple awards for its charitable efforts and retained its Platinum accreditation as a leading employer by Investors in People (IiP) for three successive terms.

We have a reputation as a formidable firm for two reasons: the expertise and bar-raising results of our people, as well as the way they tenaciously investigate and litigate civil actions, and the quality of service delivered to our clients, as evidenced in our legal rankings, awards, and public feedback platforms.

Digby Brown works in a distinctive way but what we do works and truly makes a difference to people’s lives – and that is why what we do matters.

We innovate continuously across Digby Brown to support the quality of service we provide to our clients, and our people’s personal development. To that end, we have been operating from a brand-new digital case management platform for over 18 months now. This lends itself well to fast-paced technology change, where it sits at the heart of what we stand for. Working closely together, we have solicitors and technology staff co-designing and delivering industry leading innovation on a regular basis. As a result, the underlying technology we have carefully nurtured provides the best available tools to our solicitors to support them to deliver industry leading client services.

In addition, the events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic have enabled us to implement a more flexible working approach moving forward, which we are calling Hybrid Working. This will enable our people to split their working time between their homes and the office, on a pre-agreed number of days per week, in line with the needs of their department.

Solicitor, Non-Accidental Injury
Full-time, Permanent
Edinburgh or Glasgow

We are currently recruiting for a solicitor with 1-4 years’ PQE to join our Non-Accidental Injury team. We think you could be that solicitor.

We understand it can be very difficult for people to contact a solicitor and speak about the abuse they suffered. In some cases, it may have taken years, even decades, for a survivor to come to terms with what happened before communicating about their suffering.

At Digby Brown, our Non-Accidental Team specialises in helping people affected by these traumatic and life-changing incidents. Not just to help them secure compensation but to help them access the best support and services to take back control of their lives.

As part of the team, you will provide invaluable support to victims of crimes of violence and harassment – not just by securing them compensation, which is vital due to the life-altering nature of the injuries sustained by these people, but also by guiding them through one of the most traumatic times in their lives, displaying empathy and helping them find closure.

In joining the team, you will benefit from its expertise, experience, resources, and reputation, as you embark upon an exciting new chapter in your career in a very challenging and rewarding area of PI law.

We want you to ask yourself…

Am I an enthusiastic individual with strong, client-focused litigation skills?
Do I have some experience in general personal injury law or civil litigation? Or have I been working in commercial litigation and am now looking to move into an area of law where I can make a real difference to clients?
Do I have a keen eye for detail, the ability to act on my own initiative and a strong desire to help others, with the ability to display an empathetic and proactive approach in dealing with clients?
Can I be a team player - someone who can manage their own case holding, whilst supporting others in a team with more complex cases?

If the above resonates, and helping people really matters to you, we want you to apply for this post. To do so, please send your CV and covering letter to David Hendrie, by e-mail at recruit@digbybrown.co.uk.
