Job Description:
TRANSACTIONAL CONSTRUCTION (PROJECTS) LAWYER
SCOTLAND AND UK REGIONS
Brief
Our Construction and Engineering Group team is expanding and we are currently looking to recruit a talented transactional (non-contentious) construction lawyer, ideally with experience in the energy sector though not essential, with 4-8 years' PQE to join our team. This is an opportunity involving transactional construction work with a particular focus on renewable energy projects primarily across the UK but also internationally – the preference is for the candidate to join the Scottish team, but all of our UK office locations would be considered.
Did you know?
We are the largest team of specialist construction lawyers at any law firm in the world. We have over 350 energy and infrastructure specialists globally – the largest in the world of its kind. This leading global position is well recognised, having been awarded Construction Law firm of the Year (Who's Who Legal) for the last fifteen years consecutively.
Our Team
Our Construction team works on a national basis and those Scotland-based partners work on a day-to-day basis with lawyers across our UK and international network. Our team is listed as Tier 1 in the Legal 500 in both the Construction, as well as the Energy and Infrastructure, categories for Scotland. Similarly, our team is listed as Tier 1 by Chambers & Partners in the Construction, Energy (excl. oil & gas), and Projects categories for Scotland.
The Candidate Required
The team's pipeline is such that our vacancy would best suit a candidate well versed in energy related transactional (non-contentious) construction work. However, we would also consider applicants with a strong background in transactional construction work outside of the energy sector, combined with a genuine interest in pursuing their career in a different direction.
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 enthusiastic and engaged and keen to develop their career and contribute to the success of a fantastic team;
* be technically strong and exercise good commercial judgment; and
* have the interpersonal skills necessary for this client-facing role.
The role is wide-ranging, will focus on and include:
* the opportunity to be involved in work in the very best national and international construction work;
* developing on-going relationships with an existing client base as well as pitching for new opportunities; and
* developing close working relationships as part of an international team.
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. You will have exposure to the best quality work and top global clients.
* You will get early responsibility and opportunities to develop key client relationships.
* We invest in our team and have a first-class training and career development programme. Our training reflects our market-leading position and focuses on helping you to develop as a specialist with valuable sector knowledge and the ability to deliver "best in class" services.
* We look after our people – we cultivate an inclusive culture for all our people to develop and thrive. We provide tailored resources, support networks and a culture of care to help colleagues balance their work and home lives so that they have a sense of mental and physical wellbeing.
