What we're looking for:

• Solicitor qualified in England & Wales or another common law jurisdiction
• Roughly 3-5 years' PQE from a City, international or leading regional firm's corporate department
• Solid corporate transactional experience; an existing interest in energy, infrastructure or transport is helpful but not a must

• A practical, flexible approach and a genuine focus on client service
