We are seeking a talented individual to join our nationally recognized Real Estate Energy and Natural Resources team, which has an impressive client base across the globe, including entrepreneurial new entrants, joint ventures, established independents, vertically integrated utilities, financial institutions, governments, and worldwide energy giants.
With a national presence of over 150 fee earners across 8 locations, our wider Real Estate team is a force to be reckoned with. We offer diverse and engaging work opportunities driven by the quality and commerciality of our service, our industry insight, and the talent and passion of our people. Our clients value what we do, and we take pride in our work.
What is the role?
This is a property role with an energy focus. You may work with an energy company on land options for wind, solar, battery storage, or hydrogen developments, as well as office relocation or development of an operation and maintenance facility. You'll handle a wide range of property work—from development projects, acquisitions, and disposals to landlord and tenant, asset management, and portfolio management instructions for national and international energy clients. Our team acts on all real estate elements of major energy infrastructure developments, offering you the chance to engage in project development work for new generation projects related to renewable energy transactions and mainstream power and pipeline projects.
Transactions are often high value and offer an excellent opportunity to be involved in high-profile, quality work.
Our Real Estate team has a deserved reputation for providing first-class legal advice, acting as trusted advisors to many key players across the sector. Several of our talented lawyers are listed as leaders in their field.
Working with the wider Real Estate team across the country, there will be plenty of opportunities for client contact, and you'll be expected to build and maintain strong relationships with these contacts.
What does the ideal candidate look like?
We welcome applications from enthusiastic real estate lawyers with exposure to quality real estate work, ideally from a large regional or city firm. While energy experience is preferred, anyone with an interest in this specialist area would be considered—what's most important is a genuine enthusiasm for this field.
You should be a lawyer who is excited about working in a busy and supportive environment. Excellent drafting skills, a sense of commercial pragmatism, a bright mind, and a strong team ethos to help further develop the team's client base are essential for this role. Business development is important for all our lawyers, and you will be able to contribute to the growth of the team by assisting with organizing client events, writing articles for our website, and other marketing activities.
To be successful in this role, you'll need at a minimum:
* A legal qualification with 2+ years of post-admission experience.
* Experience gained from working in a Real Estate legal team.
* Experience of development transactions and projects, either in the energy sector or more broadly.
