Job Description

Are you feeling fed up at your current firm? Perhaps you are already working in the regions but looking to boost your career or perhaps you are looking to relocate from London but don't want to lose the quality or work that you are used to. Whatever your reasons this could be a great opportunity.

The Projects/ PFI practice

The Projects/PFI team is the largest group in the firm in terms of headcount and also in terms of revenue. The team in the Bristol office is small but you will be working with colleagues in cross office teams. The team has won a number of awards recently.

The Work

The team specialises in advising Government, authorities, sponsors, contractors and financial institutions in the carrying out and financing of PPP/PFI and other major projects both in the UK and internationally.
