If you're a sharp commercial real estate lawyer who thrives on complex transactions, enjoys genuine variety, and wants to work on matters that shape the built environment, this role was written for you.
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating sophisticated property agreements — leases, easements, wayleaves, licences, and land acquisition documents across live infrastructure projects.
- Advising on land rights, title issues, and due diligence — getting under the skin of complex title and resolving defects that others find impenetrable.
- Supporting land assembly for utility projects, including grid upgrades and pipeline installations at the forefront of the UK's energy infrastructure push.
- Negotiating third-party rights and consents, securing access for projects that matter — from renewable energy to major urban regeneration schemes.
- Advising on land access strategies for energy projects, working alongside engineers, planners, and other advisers in truly multi-disciplinary teams.
- Leading the legal project management workstreams that keep complex, multi-party mandates moving.
- Qualified solicitor (England & Wales)
- Strong commercial real estate experience, ideally with utilities or infrastructure exposure
- Excellent drafting skills and a confident negotiator
- Comfortable managing complex transactions with multiple stakeholders
- Knowledge of statutory undertaker rights and land law
- Experience with public sector bodies or regulated industries
- A genuine team player who works well across disciplines
