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.

Our Environmental team is a leading national environmental law practice, advising clients across a broad range of environmental matters including environmental regulation and compliance, the natural environment and biodiversity, environmental permitting, contaminated land, waste and water regulation, climate change and regulatory defence.

About the role

To support the continued growth of our Environmental team, we are looking to recruit a qualified Environmental Lawyer with ideally 2 to 5 years' PQE to join our Bristol office and work as part of our wider national Planning and Environment Group.

You will ideally have experience across a range of environmental matters, which could include environmental regulatory and compliance advice, environmental permitting, protected habitats and species, biodiversity and natural environment matters, environmental impact assessment, water resources, air quality, contaminated land, waste regulation, pollution, environmental enforcement and regulatory proceedings, and the environmental aspects of property, development and corporate transactions.

We are keen to hear from candidates with experience in any combination of these areas, rather than expecting applicants to have covered them all. You will have the opportunity to develop your environmental practice while working on a broad mix of advisory, transactional and contentious matters for clients across a range of sectors.

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

Smart. Bold. Together. We Are Freeths.
