Criminal Lawyer jobs in United Arab Emirates

This major UK and international law firm has an excellent opportunity for an ambitious mid- to senior-level Associate to join their busy and thriving Corporate practice in Dubai. The position will entail handling a variety of high-level work, including complex and big-ticket M&A, joint venture, and investment transactions, for an impressive client list including public and private corporations, investment banks, financial institutions, governments, and international bodies across the Middle Eastern region.

Their broad practice ranges across multiple sectors, with an increasing emphasis on Energy and Infrastructure (where digital infrastructure is increasingly prominent). Applicants will therefore need first-class legal ability, coupled with a practical commercial approach (with a track record in taking responsibility for and managing deals); excellent drafting, analytical and communication skills; and enjoy being part of a friendly and outgoing team. You will also need a UK or Commonwealth legal qualification and consistently strong results throughout your academic history. Having a long-established presence in the Middle East, this top firm has an excellent understanding of the business and legal environment in the UAE.
