Transactional Construction Projects Lawyer - 4-12 years' PQE
LEEDS, WEST YORKSHIRE, United Kingdom
We are currently looking to recruit a talented Transactional Projects & Construction lawyer with 4-12 years' PQE to join our client's expanding Transactional Projects & Construction Team in our office in Leeds.
Our client's Team
Our client's Team is listed as Tier 1 in the Legal 500 in both 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 client's Projects & Construction Team in Leeds that is recognised as 'one of the leaders of the market'.
Our client's market-leading practise 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 client's National Team
Nationally, our client has an unrivalled reputation in acting for employers, funders, project companies, contractors, consultants, and insurers. Our client acts 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. Their Projects & Construction team acts across sectors including infrastructure and energy (nuclear, renewables, conventional and oil and gas), property, waste, education, transport, and health.
The Candidate Required
Our client's 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, our client 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 of 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 judgement.
- Have the interpersonal skills necessary for this client-facing role.
The role is wide-ranging, will focus on and include:
- 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 work in the very best national and international construction work.
What will our client offer you?
- They are a market-leading, dynamic, and growing global team who work together to produce outstanding results for their clients.
- They invest in their team and have a first-class training and career development programme. Their training reflects their position as a market leader in communications and sourcing. Their training will assist you to develop as a specialist with valuable sector knowledge and the ability to deliver "best in class" services.
- Early responsibility and opportunities to develop client relationships.
