Transactional Construction Projects Lawyer– NQ
Leeds
Brief
We are currently looking to recruit a talented newly qualified Transactional Projects & Construction lawyer to join our expanding Transactional Projects & Construction Team in our office in Leeds.
Our Leeds Team is listed as Tier 1 in the Legal 500 in both the Construction, as well as the Energy and Infrastructure, categories for the Yorkshire and the Humber region. It is also ranked Tier 1 in Chambers for Construction in Yorkshire.
With a reputation for excellence across the whole lifecycle of energy, infrastructure, and real estate construction projects, the successful candidate will join our Projects & Construction Team in Leeds that is recognised as one of the leaders of the market.
Our market-leading practice handles a steady stream of national and international renewable energy projects. The team handles complex infrastructure projects, assists with conventional power generation issues, advises on large-scale offshore wind projects, and also advises on high-value development projects. They are also recognised as an authority on 'Net Zero Carbon' technologies, like carbon capture and low-carbon hydrogen developments.
Our National Team
Nationally, we have an unrivalled reputation in acting for employers, funders, project companies, contractors, consultants, and insurers. We act for over half of the UK's top 50 contractors, a large number of the top contractors worldwide, and an impressive range of private and public sector clients. Our Projects & Construction team act across the sectors including infrastructure and energy (nuclear, renewables, conventional and oil and gas), property, waste, education, transport, and health.
Key Clients include:
* Statkraft
* Drax Group PLC
* University of Sussex
* UK
* Flogas Britain Limited (part of DCC PLC)
* EPH UK
* RWE Renewables UK
* NDA Group
* University of Huddersfield

Work highlights:
* Advised The Eden Project on the development of its new multi-million-pound project in Morecambe.
* Advised BP on the Northern Endurance Partnership and Net Zero Teesside Carbon Capture & Storage projects.
* Advised the University of Huddersfield on the design and construction contracts for the development of a new Health and Wellbeing Academy, which will be the flagship building at the university’s new Southgate site.

‘Reputation for excellence’
The Candidate Required
The team's pipeline is such that our vacancy would best suit a candidate well versed in infrastructure, energy, and/or real estate-related transactional (non-contentious) construction work. However, we would also consider applicants with a strong background in commercial contracts combined with a genuine interest in pursuing their career in a different direction.
Overall, the successful candidate will have the opportunity for exposure to both construction and projects work, so experience and flexibility in that regard is an advantage.
The successful candidate will:
* have gained experience in a large commercial firm, in-house legal team, or local authority;
* be a team player, able to forge strong working relationships with colleagues in an agile environment;
* be technically strong and exercise good commercial judgment;
* have the interpersonal skills necessary for this client-facing role.
The role is wide-ranging and will focus on:
* developing ongoing relationships with an existing client base, as well as pitching for new opportunities;
* developing close working relationships as part of an international team;
* the opportunity to be involved in the very best national and international construction work.
What will we offer you?
* We are a market-leading, dynamic, and growing global team who work together to produce outstanding results for our clients.
* We invest in our team and have a first-class training and career development programme. Our training reflects our position as a market leader in communications and sourcing. Our training will assist you in developing as a specialist with valuable sector knowledge and the ability to deliver 'best in class' services.
* Early responsibility and opportunities to develop client relationships.
