A leading international law firm is seeking to appoint a Projects or Project Finance Associate to join its rapidly expanding Riyadh office. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to join a brand-new platform at a formative stage. The office only opened in June and is currently led by three highly respected partners with four associates and one counsel, working in close collaboration with the firm’s established Dubai hub.
This is an ideal moment for an ambitious projects lawyer to become part of a growing regional team with exposure across the Middle East. The successful candidate will have the chance to work directly with senior partners in both Riyadh and Dubai, including the firm’s projects leadership, gaining hands-on experience on some of the most high-profile energy, infrastructure, transport and social development projects in the region.
The work will include a broad blend of project development, project finance and advisory mandates. Associates will regularly work with the projects partner in Dubai, alongside two experienced associates, with frequent collaboration across offices and opportunities for travel.
The projects practice advises governments, major regional developers, international sponsors, ECAs, banks and investors on landmark projects that are shaping the Gulf’s economic transformation. The team handles the full spectrum of work: from early-stage development and structuring, to drafting and negotiating EPC contracts.
Ambitious, collaborative individuals who are motivated to help build and shape a growing office are encouraged to apply.
