Scotland The Green Energy Giant

⚡ Did you know that 113% of Scotland's overall electricity consumption in 2022 came from renewable sources? ⚡

Much of that comes from wind power, but Scotland also has the world's largest tidal stream array. With Scotland being a hub of green energy globally, the demand for legal experts in the energy field has grown to match it.

From new wind projects to green hydrogen technology, the energy market is opening up enormous opportunities for those with the right legal skills.

If you’re an expert in energy law, environmental regulations or infrastructure contracts, the chances are your skills are in high demand now and will continue to be for a good few years yet. Scotland has an ambitious 2045 net-zero target, and with that comes the need for legal expertise to navigate complex regulations, help secure the finances needed for green projects and brokering agreements between stakeholders.

Large-scale energy projects are on the rise in Scotland and there’s a need for specialised legal roles. This could be an opportunity for you to not just find a great job now, but to establish a long and rewarding career.

Whether you're a legal professional already involved in the energy sector or exploring new opportunities, we can help you find the right role. Get in touch today to find out more.
