Job Description
Non Contentious Construction Senior Associate or Managing Associate - Clean Energy and Renewables
Permanent role that can be based in London or Bristol
The Opportunity
Lex Exec is working with a leading UK law firm to recruit a Senior Associate or Managing Associate into its non contentious construction team, with a strong focus on clean energy and renewables projects.
This is a growth hire within a well established practice that sits at the intersection of construction, projects, and energy. The team advises on complex, high value transactions across the UK and Europe and is trusted by major players operating at the forefront of the energy transition.
You will work closely with senior lawyers across multiple offices and be part of a genuinely collaborative practice that has been built deliberately to support long term growth in the clean energy space.
The Work
The role offers exposure to a broad range of clean energy and infrastructure matters, including:
Drafting and negotiating construction and project documentation
Advising on EPC contracts, supply agreements, and long term service arrangements
Supporting and leading transactions across development, acquisition, and disposal stages
Working with both bespoke and standard form documentation including FIDIC and MF/1
The client base includes international manufacturers, integrators, developers, and investors involved in complex, multi jurisdictional projects.
Sector Focus
You will work across a wide spectrum of technologies, which may include:
Battery energy storage systems
Solar PV
Wind and hydro
Energy from waste and biogas
Hydrogen and EV charging infrastructure
District heating and related assets
Experience in all areas is not required. A genuine interest in clean energy and infrastructure is essential.
The Team and Environment
You will be supported by a deep, multi disciplinary platform that includes specialists in real estate, corporate, finance, planning, environment, and disputes. The wider sector group spans multiple offices nationally, offering scale without siloed working.
The culture is professional, open, and intellectually curious. Lawyers are encouraged to develop technically, contribute commercially, and shape the future direction of the practice.
About You
This role is likely to suit a lawyer who:
Has 5+ years PQE in construction, projects, or commercial work
Has experience in renewables or a strong desire to transition into clean energy
Enjoys collaborative working and direct client exposure
Is comfortable taking ownership while being supported by senior colleagues
