Project Finance Associate

One of the City's most highly regarded international energy practices is looking to appoint an ambitious Project Finance Associate to join its expanding London team. This is purely a growth hire as the team are busy.

This is an opportunity to become part of a genuinely sector-led practice advising on some of the most sophisticated and commercially significant energy, infrastructure and natural resources projects across the UK and internationally. The team is recognised for its strength across the full project lifecycle, acting for sponsors, lenders, developers, investment funds, development finance institutions and multinational corporates on complex, cross-border mandates spanning both established and emerging markets.

The work is exceptionally varied, with exposure across renewables, conventional power, digital infrastructure, mining and critical minerals, transport, defence and major infrastructure developments.

Lawyers are encouraged to build broad commercial relationships with clients whilst working alongside market-leading partners recognised as leaders in the projects space.

This opportunity would suit a Project Finance lawyer with approximately 2–5 years' PQE gained at a leading UK or international firm, with strong experience in project finance and a genuine interest in the sectors shaping the global economy and energy transition.

What makes this role particularly compelling is the balance it offers. The quality of work is firmly at the top end of the market, yet the culture remains collaborative, collegiate and their lawyers enjoy genuine flexibility, excellent partner access and the opportunity to develop within a growing global platform where investment in both the team and the practice is clear to see.

Highlights include:

• High-value domestic and cross-border project finance transactions.

• Exposure to market-leading energy, infrastructure and natural resources work.

• Direct access to highly regarded partners and meaningful client responsibility.

• Broad international platform with genuine growth momentum.

• Flexible hybrid working and a sustainable working culture.

• Clear long-term career progression within an expanding global practice.

If you're looking to work on market-defining transactions, whilst joining a team where quality, collaboration and long-term development are valued in equal measure, I'd be delighted to have a confidential conversation.
