Projects Lawyer

A fantastic opportunity has presented itself for the chance to join my client's Bristol Projects Team. The team is part of a national Projects & Procurement practice which supports clients in delivering multi million pound projects in the UK, Middle East and Africa. Clients cover both the private and public sectors, from project developers in the power, renewable energy and waste sectors, through national defence contractors to large local authorities.

The team is a central projects hub that works closely with other disciplines to deliver complex infrastructure projects for our clients. Recent examples include thermal and renewable power plants, district heating infrastructure, gas supply and storage plants and large defence contracts - the work is challenging and varied.

The ideal candidate would be a projects lawyer who has a strong track record in the development and financing of infrastructure projects, including advising on project structuring, risk allocation and bankability issues as well as the drafting of concession and project agreements, intra-consortium arrangements (teaming/bidding, shareholders' and equity subscription agreements), feedstock and offtake agreements (including PPAs) and subcontracts.

You will be an experienced lawyer in a transactional area such as projects, corporate, construction or project finance in which you've had some exposure to projects work across a range of sectors, ideally in a large city or national practice, looking to further focus your career on the development of infrastructure projects.

You will be an active participant in supporting business development and further growing the firm's presence and reputation. This role provides an opportunity for a lawyer in the early part of their career to develop a true career path in a regarded specialism. Working with the highest calibre clients, in a collaborative collegiate environment, we believe this to be a unique opportunity for the right person.
