Job Description:

We are currently working on exciting ESG roles with both a top-tier Silver Circle firm and a prestigious US law firm, each seeking a skilled lawyer with 2-5 years of post-qualification experience. These firms advise a diverse range of clients including public and private corporations, private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, financial institutions, boards, and senior executives. The work spans ESG (and anti-ESG) issues within public company and private equity M&A, fund formation, banking and finance, litigation, and regulatory matters. There is also a focus on advising clients on disclosure obligations and the design of effective internal controls and governance frameworks.

These roles are ideal for lawyers who combine technical strength with commercial awareness and a strategic mindset. You will be expected to guide clients through complex and evolving ESG landscapes, providing tailored advice that aligns with their business goals while managing investor expectations and regulatory risks. Whether clients are proactive on ESG or navigating competing pressures, both firms offer the chance to work at the forefront of this space with highly collaborative, market-leading teams.

Candidates outside of the desired PQE bracket with relevant experience are encouraged to apply.
