Clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on our personal approach to handling cases. This role will give you the opportunity to undertake great quality work and develop your career within a highly reputable legal practice. This is a unique opportunity to work with a team who are continuing to build an exceptionally innovative and dynamic commercial practice, providing high-end commercial transaction advice. This is a unique proposition for an ambitious and self-sufficient individual who wants to grow and develop with the business, by generating your own work and supervising juniors.

We work with a growing client-base of local, national and international companies and have a particularly strong reputation in

(including waste-to-energy), as well as the wider industrial and infrastructure sectors. We frequently advise on transactions and contracts of national and international significance, and we regularly work opposite some of the largest UK law firms.
