Litigation Attorney jobs in United States

Senior Lawyer, Project Finance, UAE

At the top end, the drive of the UAE’s economy continues to follow a well-worn path – the ethos of spend, invest and diversify now, in order to anchor down profitable assets and income streams for the future.

Ensuring that government-backed companies have robust in-house legal departments is a key part of this strategy, and we are instructed with assisting that growth.

This particular organisation is currently pushing the investment and growth strategy very hard.

So why this role?

• Highest quality work – multi-billion dollar finance deals.
• Strategic impact – work on globally significant transactions that are important enough to make the news.
• Leadership and growth – you’ll work with a ‘proper’ team of transactional finance lawyers.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be working with a strong finance team, playing your part in complex deals, and allying with financiers, lenders, SWF’s, JV partners, and internal business units.

Who you’ll likely need to be, in order to succeed:

Whilst there is a degree of flexibility, there are some core guidelines that make the backbone of the client expectations:

• Common law qualification (essential due to the nature of the documents and the work).
• 7+ years of experience in transactional finance, with an emphasis on project and asset.
• Trained and qualified with an international standard law firm.
• Middle East experience is ideal.
• Experience in industrial sectors such as energy/projects or infrastructure is advantageous.

Please note that the job advertised here represents just a selection of all the in-house roles we have running across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa region from our hub office in Dubai.
