Senior Regulatory Energy Lawyer (London or Dublin / Hybrid)

The organisation's team includes commercial, technical, financial and legal professionals; the role will be focused primarily on assisting the senior members of these teams and will require you 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
• the operation and optimisation of our existing fleet of assets.

This will involve:

• advising the project and execute teams on regulatory issues and transactions arising through the whole lifecycle of renewable and conventional energy projects including licensing, consent and derogation applications and communications with stakeholders such as relevant regulatory bodies;
• advising on regulatory requirements and implications of commercial, planning and finance agreements with local and international counterparties; providing legal, regulatory, procurement and commercial support to our fleet of operational gas and biomass assets;
• advising on the regulatory requirements and implications in the acquisition of renewable and conventional energy assets, businesses and development opportunities;
• advising on the regulatory requirements and implications of other corporate, commercial and finance transactions within the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors.
• You will have access to in-depth supervision and support from senior team members, but the expectation is that you will be able to independently manage your own workload, liaising with senior leaders and stakeholders across the business as required.

You do not need litigation experience (outside of your training), but 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.

Previous in-house experience would be an advantage
