This is a superb opportunity for an experienced and motivated individual to play a key leadership role within the clean and renewable energy space.

The Energy, Projects, Infrastructure, and Construction (EPIC) team at Foot Anstey, which is ranked and recommended in the inaugural Legal 500 Green Guide UK, has extensive experience in the renewable / clean energy field and are recognised leaders in the industry.

What you’ll do

In this challenging and varied role, you will play a crucial position in growing and developing the Future Energy sector.







You will be working primarily in the renewable energy sector and will be leading on matters directly in collaboration with our team’s Partners and Principal Directors, as well as managing your own matters.

Your focus will be to deliver exceptional client service, collaborating with colleagues to strengthen the skills needed at each level to ensure our clients receive all the support they need, when they need it.

You will be advising our developer, owner-operator, funder, and investor clients in the energy sector on solar, storage, EV infrastructure, and other renewable and clean energy projects, ensuring work is being done at the right level and with client service central to everything you do.

With an understanding of what their commercial drivers are, you will collaborate with our clients and tailor your approach to their commercial goals.

You will be experienced in developing strong and effective relationships, offering commercially relevant and practical advice from the outset.

Working with us,





you will encounter a broad range of energy and infrastructure property work, acting for a range of well-known, high-profile clients on large and nationally significant energy and infrastructure transactions.

What we’re looking for

You will ideally have gained significant experience in commercial property with a large regional or national practice, particularly in leading energy and infrastructure projects, including sector-specialist elements of options, leases, and renewable energy development.

We’re seeking someone who is self-motivated and equally capable of motivating others, with the enthusiasm and commitment to share knowledge and build capacity across the wider team.

In your current role,





you will enjoy engaging with your clients and developing your relationship as a trusted business advisor.

You achieve this by readily understanding the commercial context of your clients and the nuances and influences that shape the sector.

In return, you will be fully encouraged, supported, and resourced to grow your skill set and practice, complementing the considerable skills across the sector team.

You’ll be keen to progress, and we will work with you to ensure you realise your potential by agreeing realistic and achievable goals that will help you reach your career aspirations.

Our offer to you

In return for your efforts, you can expect considerable scope for personal, as well as professional, development.





We encourage people to engage with our popular and well supported coaching and mentoring programmes, which connect you to people right across the firm and at every level.

We create space for mental and physical wellbeing with our weekly Lifestyle Hour, along with 28 days’ annual leave (plus a day in your birthday month), private medical insurance (eligibility applies) and a sabbatical you can take every 5 years.

You can also buy holiday, managing your benefits flexibly using our sophisticated portal to configure your total reward offer according to what you value most.

As part of this, you can make ongoing or one-off donations to our charitable foundation and access our CSR programme where you can engage with community-based initiatives (as a team, or individually) twice a year,





to give something back where you feel it matters.
