Job description

Our client, a long-established Dublin firm with one of the leading renewable energy practices in Ireland, is looking for a Corporate M&A Solicitor to join its growing, award-winning Energy & Natural Resources team. The team sits within a wider Projects, Infrastructure & Energy group. It has advised developers, funders and investors on projects with a combined generation capacity of over 4GW, from feasibility through planning, financing and construction.

This is buy-side and sell-side M&A on some of the largest and most innovative wind and solar transactions in the country, for leading Irish and international clients. It’s a genuine route into one of Ireland’s fastest-growing sectors. You don’t need any energy background, because training is provided.

What you’ll do

• Corporate due diligence on asset and share acquisitions
• Draft and settle completion ancillaries, including board minutes, resignation letters and stock transfer forms
• Prepare and file CRO forms on acquisitions and disposals
• Draft and negotiate NDAs and other commercial agreements
• Support the partners on core transaction documents, including SPAs, SHAs and disclosure letters

Who they’re looking for

A solicitor with 1 to 3 years’ PQE and solid Irish corporate law and M&A experience. Corporate experience on wind or solar projects is a plus but not essential. Above all, they want excellent drafting and organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and a commercial, solutions-focused approach.

The package

A competitive salary with pension, life cover at 4x salary, income protection, exam support, paid professional subscriptions, an on-site gym and wellness programme, and a 10% commission scheme on new business you bring to the firm.
