• Bring and service a substantial client following of your own
• Take a lead role in managing and developing the firm’s existing non-contentious client base
• Actively grow both through collaboration, cross-selling, and leveraging Prospect Law’s strong brand and reputation

• Help shape our recruitment strategy and attract the next generation of top-tier talent
• Drive improvements in infrastructure, systems, and technology, including the intelligent use of AI
• Identify and help develop new practice areas, sectors, and opportunities as the firm continues to expand If you enjoy autonomy, influence, and seeing your ideas turn into reality, this role is designed for you.

Who We’re Looking For

You will be:

• A proven relationship-builder, with the ability to attract, retain, and grow clients
• Commercially minded, confident, and credible with senior stakeholders
• Entrepreneurial in outlook and comfortable taking ownership and driving growth Experience in the energy sector is a plus, but not essential. What matters most is your ambition, judgment, and appetite to build.

What We Offer

• Central London office
• A senior role within a Legal 500-ranked multi-disciplinary practice
• Access to a wide MDP network of lawyers and non-lawyers
• A diverse and high-quality client base across renewable and nuclear energy
