The role

Following a series of impressive new client wins the Team are in growth mode and are looking to recruit at Associate to Managing Associate level. Given our national spread and flexible approach to working this role could be based out of any of our 13 offices in England and Scotland. We are keen to secure someone keen to capitalise on the chance to progress quickly in an environment where you will be able to gain exposure to high quality work and clients from day one. This position would suit an ambitious Projects and Infrastructure lawyer from a well-regarded National or City practice with experience of a broad range of domestic and international projects. There would ideally be synergies with the Team’s current practice providing a 360o service when it comes to development and transactional project management. The clean energy and transport sectors are a key feature of the practice, with a wider client roster made up of global manufacturers and retailers, major national and regional builders, and commercial land developers are regular clients.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development and growth of the department, and play a key role in business development initiatives. You will have experience of:

• PFI/PPP contract management (variations, refinancing, asset management, expiry and hand back)
• PFI/PPP secondary market transactions
• Infrastructure M&A
• Advising on commercial contracts across the broader infrastructure sector
• Advising on projects and transactions within the renewables/net zero sector (for example, solar, wind, battery storage, energy from waste, EV, bioenergy, offshore transmission, district heating)
  
  
  

We trust our people to work flexibly in the way that works best for them, their teams and our clients. Our firm is set up to ensure everyone’s voice is heard, and mutual respect is shown by all.

Smart. Bold. Together. We Are Freeths.
