Senior In-House Regulatory Solicitor (Energy Sector)

Are you a Regulatory Lawyer seeking a new challenge?

Centred around the maintenance and regeneration of power facilities, this multidisciplinary company is looking to expand its expert legal team with the addition of a Senior Solicitor whose specialism lies within the energy sector.

Covering the whole spectrum of legal disciplines, this team focuses on regulatory matters in particular. Energy and power facilities are the focal point of this business and therefore this role. With jurisdictions spanning Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, this team’s work has a real impact on this corner of the world.

This won’t be your typical in-house role, as this isn’t your typical company. Operating on a very close-knit basis with little focus on hierarchy, they value the opinions of each individual in the business, and as a result, they consider communication and confidence to be extremely important. They’re after an assertive and dynamic legal professional to join their team and reap the benefits of working collaboratively by learning from one another and fluidly expanding their skillsets.

Your responsibilities as a Senior Regulatory Solicitor will include:

Providing ideas, advice, and solutions relating to the regulation of the full energy life cycle from licenses, construction, and consents to various derogations that might be required from regulatory societies/departments.

Supporting the company with regulatory advice in connection with development and construction projects, acquisition of assets and secondary development opportunities, and the operation and optimisation of the company’s existing assets.

Dynamic stakeholder engagement: working with individuals at all levels of the business, including the CEO, to formulate solutions and advise upon any legal matters within your remit.

Reviewing policies and procedures: keeping track of new legislation and researching applicable legal issues that affect the company, advising them on the implementation of required legal amendments to policies and procedures.

For this Senior Regulatory Solicitor role, you will ideally have:

• A minimum of 4 years’ post-qualification experience with regulatory matters, ideally in-house and within the energy/regulatory space-transferable experience from sectors such as rail will be considered.
• Knowledge of the full regulatory phase and any kind of consents that may be required in terms of energy/development projects.
• Good commercial acumen and a pragmatic approach to decision-making and problem solving.
• Litigation experience would be advantageous.
• The confidence to advise and collaborate with colleagues and business leaders, utilising strong negotiation and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to prioritise, coordinate, and manage a varied workload in a fast-paced environment.
