The role sits within a growing corporate and projects team working across complex M&A, joint ventures, privatisations, PPPs and major commercial arrangements in the energy, infrastructure and resources sectors. Matters regularly involve renewables, utilities, digital and telco infrastructure and large-scale projects, often with a cross-border dimension. The work is sophisticated and transaction-led, with real depth rather than volume-driven repetition.

You will work in lean, senior-heavy deal teams, giving you early responsibility and meaningful exposure to how transactions are structured, negotiated and delivered. The team operates on a trust-based model, you will be expected to run workstreams, manage documents and contribute to deal strategy, with Partners closely involved and accessible rather than layered above you.

Development, mentoring and progression are treated as part of the role, not an add-on. Partners are highly collaborative and hands-on, with a strong focus on coaching junior lawyers through complex issues, client interaction and commercial judgment. You will learn directly from experienced practitioners while also building confidence in client-facing work and cross-office collaboration.

This role will suit a lawyer with 2-4 years’ PQE in corporate transactions, M&A or projects. Experience in energy, infrastructure or renewables is advantageous, but strong general corporate or corporate-commercial experience combined with a genuine interest in the sector will also be well regarded.

Flexible and hybrid working is well embedded, and the environment is professional, supportive and performance-focused without unnecessary rigidity. As you progress, there are opportunities to deepen your experience through cross-office work and international secondments, providing exposure that meaningfully broadens your practice rather than duplicating what you already know.
