A leading legal firm is seeking a qualified Environmental Solicitor with 6+ years PQE to join its Planning and Environment Group in Bristol. The ideal candidate will help navigate complex environmental law issues including waste regulation and compliance, working closely with a recognized Partner and a supportive team. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to important projects and engage with a diverse range of clients across various sectors.
The Team
Freeths LLP Planning and Environment Group is a multi-disciplinary team comprising planning lawyers, environmental lawyers, and planning consultants operating across all development sectors. The Group is known for its extensive knowledge, experience, and for providing pragmatic and commercial advice to navigate the planning process from inception to advocacy, aiming for the best outcome. It offers a holistic approach, including advice on environmental regulation areas such as biodiversity, sustainability, permitting, circular economy, contaminated land, waste, water regulation, climate change, and regulatory defence.
The Group collaborates closely with Freeths’ commercial, corporate, and real estate lawyers, supporting practices in development, clean energy, and waste sectors.
The environmental law team advises a range of clients, including public and private companies (manufacturers, housebuilders, developers, utilities), public sector organizations, local authorities, and regulators. The goal is to establish itself as one of the UK's leading Environmental Law Teams.
The Role
We are seeking a qualified Environmental Solicitor (around 6+ years PQE) to support our growth, working alongside Partner Ben Derrington, ideally in Bristol but open to other locations within the Freeths network.

He also collaborates with our Regulatory Department for advice and training on risk management.
Experience in real estate, corporate transactional support, environmental permitting, contaminated land, emissions, pollution, waste, criminal defence, compliance, and risk management is essential.
