Sonic Summary

info
  • A major global law firm in the UK is seeking a mid-level Associate for their top-ranked Energy & Climate Change team in London.
  • Candidates should be qualified Lawyers with 2 to 5 years of relevant post-qualification experience in the power and renewables sector, particularly within the UK's Energy sector regime.
  • The role involves advising on legal, regulatory, and commercial arrangements across various technologies including offshore and onshore wind, solar, and hydrogen.
  • Successful applicants will possess excellent academic credentials, strong drafting and negotiating skills, and a commitment to professional development.
  • Salary details are not explicitly mentioned, but the role is aimed at transactional energy lawyers with specific experience in the UK energy market.

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-based 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 at least one additional mid-level Associate.

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 mostly likely have solid relevant post-qualification experience (probably between 2 and 5 years') gained in private practice within the UK.

This role is aimed at transactional energy lawyers with current experience of the UK's Energy sector regime. It is not a role for those looking to relocate to the UK or having recently located without such experience.

You will also have:

  • Excellent academics and black letter law skills.
  • Demonstrable experience of drafting and negotiating commercial and project agreements in the power and renewables space.
  • 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 experience, 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.
