Project Finance Lawyer - 6+ PQE

Client of Garfield Robbins International

This leading UK and international law firm has an excellent new opportunity for an experienced Project Finance lawyer to join their busy and thriving Dubai team in a Senior Associate or Legal Director capacity. 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. The team's work also frequently sees them advising and supporting clients post-close and throughout the subsequent construction and operational phases. This is therefore an exciting and challenging role and presents an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Project Finance lawyer looking to develop their knowledge and progress their career within a major global law firm.

Applicants should ideally be UK or Commonwealth qualified lawyers, with experience in leading and project managing a number of high-profile project financing transactions independently, including drafting and negotiating a wide range of finance documents (including common terms agreements and intercreditor arrangements) through to financial close. Experience of working with development financial institutions and export credit agencies would also be beneficial (though is not essential). Middle East regional experience, Islamic finance experience, and Arabic language skills, while beneficial, are not essential for this position.
