This is an exciting opportunity to join a unique law firm at an early stage of its development, lead and expand our environmental case load, and help establish Practice as a go to firm for organisations that seek to make a positive and practical change to the world.
The role requires a qualified solicitor, who has considerable experience of running their own litigation, is comfortable with supervising others, and has minimal need for supervision on day-to-day casework. However, we also offer excellent training and supervision where needed, and the opportunity to progress.
We are interested in hearing from lawyers whose practice has focused on environmental law litigation, but who also have public law experience. Please note we are also seeking to hire a junior solicitor.
The successful candidate will be proactive, have a sense of adventure, and feel comfortable within a dynamic, rapid-paced environment. The full job description and person specification is located at the end of this job pack.
If you are an experienced environmental law lawyer with a passion for the environment, for working with organisations to achieve their purpose, and ambitious to establish Practice as a force in the world, we invite you to join our team and contribute to making a lasting contribution to the future of the planet.
