Renewable Energy Partner (Corporate) – Top 50 firm

Our law firm client has a developing practice in the renewable energy sector with expertise across wind, hydro and solar which compliments a strong utilities practice.  The renewables team is well supported by other of the firm’s departments (such as banking, real estate and regulatory) and is now seeking a partner with a particular focus on the corporate aspects of the clean energy market; acquisitions, disposals, fundraising, JVs and ongoing corporate advisory. Given the nature and geographic spread of the firm the majority of clients and prospective clients will focus on UK energy deals, and the team are confident that this market has withstood the current crisis extremely well and is likely to produce a steady deal flow going forward.

The renewables team is growing and already making a steady contribution to overall firm revenues and profile. It is very important to the firm’s strategy. So, you will find a practice which remains ambitious and where there is considerable head room but also plenty of internal support with a mandate for continued growth.

The partners would be happy to talk to lawyers with 100% renewables experience but also those with exposure to other areas of the energy market provided they can show a desire to focus more fully on clean energy.  In either event it is important that you understand the sector, ideally have a profile or developing profile for this type of corporate energy work and also can point to an existing network of clients, multipliers, referrers and contacts.

The firm can show how successful it has been in attracting and supporting lateral hires into this team and supporting their own development and that of the practice overall. The partners are happy to consider individuals who either have an established practice or non-partner candidates who are ready to take the next step and have a network/profile that will provide a good platform for future BD successes.
