A capability/willingness to work on habitats, species and other natural Environmental law issues is preferred, but will also consider applications from lawyers who can draw upon complimentary skills in Regulatory, Health and Safety, Planning or transactional work, if they can demonstrate a genuine commitment to developing an Environmental law practice. Most importantly we are keen to hear from enthusiastic and passionate lawyers looking to join a friendly, supportive and ambitious team.
