Job description

We are working closely with a leading UK law firm to support a critical short-term cover within their corporate team. This unique opportunity has arisen due to a planned period of absence across Summer, starting in June 2025.

The successful individual will work with a range of clients across clean energy and infrastructure, ensuring the delivery of service excellence during the period of absence.

While the successful individual will not be responsible for managing more junior members of the team, they must be capable of structuring deals, delegating work to other members of the team or different teams (if necessary), handling work directly, and reviewing work delegated to others.

Successful applicants are likely to demonstrate:

• Qualification as a Lawyer - ideally in England & Wales or another commonwealth jurisdiction
