About the Team

Freeths LLP Planning and Environment Group is a truly multi-disciplinary team comprising planning lawyers, environmental lawyers and planning consultants operating across all development sectors. The Group is recognised for its depth of knowledge, breadth of experience and for providing clear, pragmatic and commercial advice and support in navigating and managing the planning process – from the inception of a proposal through to advocacy – in order to secure the optimal outcome. The Group offers a holistic approach which includes advice on the specialist areas of environmental regulation from natural environment, biodiversity and sustainability, to environmental permitting, circular economy, contaminated land, waste and water regulation, climate change and regulatory defence.

About the Role

Identified in the Planning Law Survey as one of the fastest growing planning teams over two consecutive years and ranked as 16th largest in the country we are looking to recruit a qualified Planning and/or Environment Solicitor in our Leeds office (ideally 3 + PQE) to support the growth of both the Leeds team and the wider Group which operates nationally. The Leeds team is led by Alison Ogley, who is recognised as one of the top 20 Planning Solicitors by Planning Magazine, and offers a wide range of expertise, across both Planning and Environmental law matters. The team offers a supportive and flexible working environment with exciting work opportunities across many development sectors.

The ideal candidate will ideally have experience of: contentious planning and environment work, including Planning Inquiries and High Court challenges/Judicial Reviews, advisory and transactional work including Section 106 agreements, highways and other statutory agreements, advising on Environmental Impact Assessment and Strategic Environmental Assessment, waste-related planning law, and advising on the planning or environmental aspects of property and corporate transactions.

Most importantly we are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate planning lawyer to join a friendly, supportive and ambitious team.
