Their highly-rated team has an impressive record of successfully delivering first-rate legal services for major projects in all segments of the regional infrastructure (transport, social infrastructure and infra tech) and energy (power/renewables, natural resources and mining) industries.

The role will entail a variety of high-level work, focusing particularly on advising major private and public sector clients, funders, and consortia on the structuring, drafting and negotiation of the full range of financing documents for a diverse range of big ticket infrastructure and energy projects.

Middle East regional experience, Islamic finance experience, and Arabic language skills, while beneficial, are not essential for this position.
