Projects and Infrastructure Lawyer – Remote Consultancy

We are currently instructed by a specialist boutique law firm with a strong reputation for advising on complex projects across the Middle East. The firm is seeking to engage with an experienced Projects and Infrastructure Lawyer on a fully remote, consultancy basis, starting immediately.

The successful consultants will advise on a broad range of high-value and strategically important projects across the energy and natural resources, construction, infrastructure, technology, aviation, defence and transport sectors. Lawyers with experience advising on projects and/or clients across the Middle East will be of particular interest.

This opportunity is suited to experienced Lawyers qualified in England & Wales (or another commonwealth jurisdiction such as Australia or New Zealand), with at least 9 years’ post-qualification experience and an outstanding track record gained within US, leading international or City law firms.

The position offers a fully remote, flexible, non-exclusive consultancy arrangement, making it particularly attractive to Lawyers already operating on a contract or portfolio basis. At present, the firm can offer circa 20 hours per week worth of work, but there is significant scope for this to grow.

Key requirements:

• Qualification in England & Wales (or another commonwealth jurisdiction such as Australia or New Zealand).
• A minimum of 9 years’ PQE advising on complex domestic and international projects and/or infrastructure matters.
• Strong experience across one or more of the energy and natural resources, construction, infrastructure, technology, aviation, defence and/or transport sectors.

• An outstanding Private Practice background, with recent experience gained in US, International or City law firms.
