Our client is a major global law firm with an established and longstanding reputation in the UK, where they are headquartered.
Their top ranked UK Energy & Climate change team, based in London, has shaped the sector by creating legal frameworks and market rules in a wide variety of countries, advising their clients on a wide range of technologies including:
- Offshore and onshore wind
- Interconnectors and networks
- Energy storage
- Solar
- Electric vehicles
- Hydrogen
- Nuclear
- Carbon capture and storage
- Digitisation of the energy systems
Advice spans legal, regulatory and commercial arrangements across the power and renewables sector. The team's ambit encompasses the full spectrum of this sector's work, including commercial, regulatory, M&A and projects. It also occasionally involves advising in parallel areas, such as other utility sectors (gas, water etc).
The team is now looking for an additional senior member, to focus on energy regulations and navigating/developing the legal rules and regulations across the power sector. Experience across any or all of the energy sub-sectors referred to in the paragraph above is of interest - and opportunities abound across all of these areas.
In order to be successful in your application, you will be a qualified Lawyer, with relevant experience working with the power and renewables sector. You will most likely have solid relevant post-qualification experience gained in private practice within the UK. Depending on your experience, this role could be at either Senior Associate or Of Counsel. If it was of interest, there would be an opportunity for the right person to take on more of a PSL role.
You will also have:
- A strong academic background and black letter law skills.
- A keen interest in the electricity and renewables sectors, and the ability to navigate the economic, technical and financial context within which the legal and regulatory advice is provided. Experience of hydrogen, CCUS and gas, as well as nuclear matters is desirable.
- Experience of energy sector regulation (in either the UK and/or the EU).
- A commitment to professional development and becoming a real sector expert, as well as the aptitude to work on large, high profile and technically complicated transactions.
Foreign-qualified candidates with suitable PQE and relevant experience gained in the UK will certainly be of interest. Unfortunately this position will not be suitable for those who have recently relocated, or who are looking to relocate to the UK.
For further information and a confidential discussion about this or other roles we are handling, please get in touch with David von Dadelszen by email at or call David on +.
Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.
