Public Procurement & Subsidy Control Associate

An excellent opportunity for an ambitious Public Procurement Solicitor to join one of the largest Competition Teams in Europe at a future facing, international law firm. This opportunity would ideally suit a Solicitor who has had some exposure to public procurement either during your traineeship or as a qualified lawyer. Applications from Solicitors at newly qualified level or with up to c6 years of PQE will be considered and those with public sector, contracts, In-House or Competition law experience would be particularly suited.

The successful candidate will work closely with a Partner and Senior Associate and the role could be based from Glasgow or Edinburgh with hybrid working which requires 3 days in the office each week.

You can expect to work principally on public procurement and subsidy control matters (both non-contentious and contentious).  This is due to growth in these areas following legislative reforms to both public procurement and subsidy control. 

Associates are encouraged to take on high levels of responsibility and client contact is encouraged. From day one your role will include business development activities within the team and across the firm’s sector groups. The team undertakes a significant amount of cross-border work, cooperating on a daily basis with our international offices and the role will include travel. 

Applicants will ideally have:

  • experience/training in public procurement and a willingness to learn on subsidy control and the new UK subsidy control regime post-Brexit. 
  • a general interest in mainstream antitrust compliance and investigations, merger control, public procurement, subsidy control and regulation and trade work, additional experience/training in competition law will be beneficial.
  • excellent communication and drafting skills – the ability to communicate succinctly is a must
  • strong commercial acumen and be able to provide clients with focused strategic advice

A market-leading basic salary, generous bonus scheme and benefits package alongside hybrid working are just some of the many reasons to apply! To find out more, please contact Jill Cowan on 07931 811 330 or email Jill@lusona.co.uk
