Glasgow, United Kingdom Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP Full time

Working in one of Scotland’s largest dedicated planning and environment team, advising clients on a wide range of projects in various consenting regimes across the UK. The team regularly advises on planning, consenting and environmental law matters relating to significant and often controversial developments – for example, we have been involved in some of the largest energy projects in the UK. In the recent years, we have helped clients deliver critical electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure, required amongst others to support delivery of renewable generation. We have also assisted clients with delivery of offshore windfarms; onshore windfarms; solar farms as well as hydrogen schemes and battery schemes. We are looking for candidates to join our busy but supportive and friendly team, where no two days are the same. We offer an excellent range of benefits, supportive learning environment, early opportunities to develop client relationships, assistance with career development and opportunities for cross-qualification into other UK jurisdictions.

The role

The successful candidate’s work will include advising on projects in the energy sector, environmental consenting and other development matters. Main tasks are likely to involve advising on various aspects of consenting strategies for major developments, including linear infrastructure and renewable energy projects. The successful candidate will be involved in carrying out legal reviews of EIA Reports; advising on compulsory purchase and compensation; assisting with contentious matters including appeals, hearings and public inquiry processes; and advising on matters relating to environmental consenting. Additionally, the successful candidate will be involved in transactional matters providing planning and consenting input in the context of property and corporate transactions.

Other information

Candidate Profile

  • Experience in planning, consenting and environmental law, including experience of EIA and HRA
  • Experience of working in the energy sector and experience of compulsory purchase would be an advantage
  • ‘Can-do’ attitude and a client focused approach
  • Dedication to providing high quality advice and responsiveness to clients’ requirements
  • Strong problem solving skills and willingness to learn
  • Exceptional communication skills and team work skills
  • Excellent time management skills and ability to multitask

To foster inclusivity we particularly encourage applications from those who may be from underrepresented groups, including candidates from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBT+ people, disabled people and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
