Carrying out due diligence on such projects
Dealing with the financing of clean energy projects and large-scale acquisitions / disposals
To maintain and improve relations with existing clients
Your Skills and Experience:
You will be/have:
A Qualified Solicitor (SRA or Law Society Registered)
Experience as a qualified Real Estate lawyer. Exposure to Clean or Future energy matters would be a plus, but NOT essential!
A forward thinker who has excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills
Enthusiastically and commercially aware of business development
A desire for keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in your practice area and sector focus
An understanding of your client’s business needs, and act in the best interest of the firm and the client
