Associate - Public Sector & Regeneration

Full Job Description

Are you an ambitious, qualified solicitor with a passion for regeneration projects and redevelopment schemes?

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an Associate to join our multi-disciplinary Public Sector & Regeneration team. If you have a solid background in dealing with a broad range of regeneration projects, including being alive to planning, environmental, procurement and public law issues, we’d love to hear from you!

Whilst experience of working on regeneration projects would be highly advantageous, we’re also happy to consider applications from those with a keen interest in this area, who may have gained transferable experience from other areas, e.g. property development, housing or general local authority property work.

The ideal candidate will be a real team player, adept at building trusted working relationships with colleagues and clients alike.

We're flexible on location and will consider candidates based from one of our regional offices in either Birmingham, Cardiff, Nottingham or Manchester.

‘One Firm, Wherever You Are’

We believe that a regular level of in-person contact is an important way to build connections with your colleagues, enabling all of us to benefit from the vibrant office culture Browne Jacobson has to offer.

Our expectation is that, on average , you’ll work from home for no more than three days per week, with the remainder of your time either spent in the office or working from other locations as work demands dictate, e.g. courts, client offices, conferences etc. Equally, there will be individual circumstances in which a different pattern of work is needed, for example as an agreed reasonable adjustment for colleagues with a disability or long-term medical condition.

Our ‘One Firm’ approach:

• fits with our values and personality;
• will enhance our performance through greater flexibility;
• advances our ambitions as an inclusive employer – helping you better balance work and family/life commitments;
• offers opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint (travel, office services etc.), a key ambition underpinning our corporate sustainability plan.

We’re a Disability Confident Employer and will offer an interview to disabled applicants who best meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role. Tick on the application form if you’d like to apply through the Disability Confident Interview Scheme.

Please note that any speculative CVs submitted via agencies without invitation will not be considered as represented by the agency.
