This is an opportunity to join a leading national team, renowned for their work across a range of sectors but particularly within Transport and Energy. The role itself is within our clients Projects, Energy and Transport team and the scope of the work on offer is very diverse due to the depth of expertise that they have within these particular sectors. This is a highly diverse role which would suit someone who likes variety and not knowing what they are going to be doing every day, someone who liked to genuinely think things through and tackle work rather than just be able to refer to precedents. For this reason they are happy to consider people from a wide variety of areas including Construction, Non Contentious Regulatory, Commercial and Real Estate, they will of course offer training but have a successful track record of bringing people in from these backgrounds, some of whom are now partners.
