Energy Regulatory Lawyer

Sacco Mann is working alongside an international organisation which is a highly acquisitive player in the energy market. They already have an integral London-based In-house legal team but are now seeking to recruit a UK qualified Energy Regulatory Lawyer with utilities experience, to establish a department in Leeds. Those candidates with experience in advising on regulatory aspects of power and infrastructure projects in a commercial context are very welcome to apply.

The ideal candidate will have at least 4 years PQE and will be commercially astute with regulatory experience in the UK's power and/or infrastructure markets, as well as possessing excellent drafting, negotiation, communication and presentation skills and regulatory and commercial instincts.

Along with the team you'll be expected to provide legal support across the business, but with a focus on providing regulatory advice in connection with; development and construction projects in the UK and Ireland, acquisition of suitable assets / development opportunities on the secondary market; and the operation and optimisation of our existing fleet of assets.

This is a fast paced and highly visible position where you can expect plenty of exposure to senior stakeholders across commercial, technical and finance teams. Whilst you will have access to in-depth supervision and support from senior team members, the expectation is that you will be able to independently manage your own workload. A good understanding of early-stage dispute management in a public law and regulatory context, court and arbitration processes (including Judicial Review) would be an advantage.

For a confidential conversation, please contact Steve.shakespeare@saccomann.com or call his DL 0113 467 9789.

*Applications will only be considered from applicants who already have the right to work in the UK*
