The team advises on some of the largest and most sophisticated energy and infrastructure transactions globally, acting for governments, sponsors, financial institutions, contractors and suppliers across the full lifecycle of major projects. The practice combines project development and commercial contracting expertise with a particularly strong financing capability, including project, acquisition, commodity and structured finance.

The breadth of the practice is a significant attraction. You could work across renewables, nuclear, energy transition, digital infrastructure and data centres, CCUS, low-carbon fuels, batteries and storage, transport infrastructure, mining, oil & gas and LNG, with matters regularly spanning multiple jurisdictions.

Associates are not expected to arrive with experience across every area. The team is interested in lawyers with a strong foundation in projects, project finance or energy and infrastructure finance who want to broaden their experience within a genuinely sector-focused practice.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to join one of the leading Energy & Infrastructure practices in the international market, working on strategic projects and transactions across both established infrastructure and rapidly developing areas of the energy transition.

Rather than being confined to a narrow finance or projects specialism, you'll have the opportunity to develop across financing, project development, commercial contracts and regulatory matters, while working on major cross-border mandates alongside international colleagues. The team also places a strong emphasis on training and tailored career development, providing an excellent platform for an ambitious Associate looking to build a long-term career in the sector.
