The Role

• Supporting project development and financing transactions, often involving complex multi-jurisdictional structures.
• Working closely with project finance colleagues on matters that combine corporate and financing elements.
• Acting as lead associate on transactions, managing client relationships, supervising juniors, and working directly with partners on strategic mandates.

The Team

• Comprises a balanced mix of senior partners, experienced counsel, and high-calibre associates.
• Recognised for a collaborative and pragmatic culture, with a strong record of integrating corporate lawyers into cross-practice energy teams.
• Routinely acknowledged by independent legal directories for both transactional excellence and sector expertise in renewable energy and infrastructure.

Matters

• Advising on the acquisition of a portfolio of offshore wind projects in Europe by a major international energy investor.

Candidate Profile

• 5+ years’ PQE (England & Wales or equivalent) with significant corporate/M&A experience in the energy or infrastructure sectors.
• Strong grounding in cross-border transactions; exposure to project finance elements advantageous but not essential.
