This international commercial law firm is looking to recruit a qualified consenting lawyer to join the market leading Planning & Environment team. The ideal candidate will have upwards of 3 year’s PQE with a focus on all or any of the Electricity Act 1989, the Town and Country Planning Acts, Planning Act 2008, the Transport and Works Acts, harbour orders, compulsory acquisition/purchase and compensation matters, EIA/HRA, inquiries/examinations and judicial review. The role could be based in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

This is the largest dedicated planning team in the UK with specialists covering a wide range of major projects across the Energy, Infrastructure and Real Estate sectors. Within the team, they have lawyers who predominantly work in the Energy and Infrastructure sectors and also those who predominantly work in the Real Estate sector, as well as lawyers who do both.
