Project Finance Associate - Tier 1 Firm

Overview

Project Finance Associate with c.3 - 5 pqe sought to join a Magic Circle law firm to play a key role in its high end and well established Dubai practice.

This role involves covering the full mix of project financing work, from large‑scale financings at outset to conclusion. The position works closely with Partners, the broader team, and clients on projects across the UAE, Middle East, and Africa. The firm acts for governments, sponsors, financial institutions, and others in financing high‑profile energy, power, and infrastructure projects.

The successful candidate should be a Common Law qualified Project Finance Lawyer with 3 – 5 pqe, based either in the UAE at a legally‐directoried ranked law firm, or interested in relocating from the UK, Australia, or New Zealand.

Excellent global law firm tax‑free rates of remuneration are on offer to attract a high‑calibre Associate. For those relocating internationally, the remuneration levels and tax‑free structure can lead to a potential increase in net take‑home pay of approximately 50 – 80%, making this an attractive financial prospect.
