The opportunity
The energy sector continues to evolve at pace, creating exciting opportunities for lawyers who want to work on projects that shape the future of the UK’s infrastructure. This opportunity offers exactly that.
A well established national law firm is looking to strengthen its Real Estate team with the appointment of a Senior Associate specialising in renewable energy and infrastructure. Joining a highly respected practice with significant investment in this sector, you will advise an impressive client base delivering projects that support the UK’s transition to cleaner energy.
The role
Working closely with an experienced sector lead, you will become a trusted adviser to developers, landowners, investors, funders and corporate clients involved in renewable energy and strategic infrastructure. The work is varied, technically interesting and commercially focused, spanning solar developments, battery storage schemes, wind energy projects, electric vehicle infrastructure, digital infrastructure and wider commercial development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will lead on complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions and disposals, options, leases, easements, development agreements and asset management matters, while collaborating with specialists across planning, construction, banking, environmental and corporate teams to provide clients with a seamless service.
Beyond the technical work, this role offers genuine involvement in the continued growth of the practice. You will have the opportunity to build long term client relationships, contribute to business development initiatives, support junior lawyers and play an active role in a team that continues to expand its presence within the energy market.
About You
You will be a qualified Solicitor with strong commercial real estate experience gained within a recognised regional or national practice.
Experience advising on renewable energy or infrastructure projects would be welcomed, although lawyers with a genuine interest in developing their expertise within this sector will also be considered.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will enjoy building relationships, delivering practical commercial advice and working collaboratively across different legal disciplines. Strong technical ability, sound commercial judgement and an enthusiasm for working within a growing sector are all essential.
Why This Opportunity?
This is more than a traditional commercial property role. It offers the chance to work on nationally significant projects that contribute to the UK’s evolving energy landscape while joining a firm that is committed to long term investment in both its people and its sector expertise.
Alongside high quality work, you will benefit from a supportive and inclusive culture, flexible working, clear opportunities for progression and the chance to establish yourself within one of the most active and fastest growing areas of the legal market.
