Project Finance Associate 3 – 8 PQE - London We are working with a leading international Projects & Infrastructure platform in London that is currently undergoing a period of significant expansion and strategic investment, with a key hiring push underway across its project finance practice. This is a high-priority, live mandate comprising three available roles (one replacement hire and two newly created positions), reflecting sustained growth in deal flow and increasing demand across the team’s core infrastructure and energy financing work. The team is actively engaging candidates now, with a clear intention to move quickly for strong profiles. While there are candidates already in process (including referral-led applications), the hiring team has confirmed there is additional capacity to bring in further hires alongside existing pipelines, making this a genuine multi-hire opportunity rather than a single replacement exercise. Team Overview The London platform is led by a highly experienced and well-established partner group, including: • Senior Project Finance Partners (leadership team), • Multiple infrastructure and energy finance specialists The practice is primarily focused on project finance transactions, with selective exposure to project development, infrastructure structuring, and related advisory work, depending on deal flow and individual experience. The team is widely regarded internally as commercial, delivery-focused, and highly cohesive, with strong cross-partner collaboration and a notably team-oriented culture. The Opportunity This is a broad Project Finance Associate / Senior Associate opportunity within a rapidly scaling infrastructure platform. The role offers exposure to a strong pipeline of complex, often cross-border financing transactions, including long-term infrastructure assets and energy-linked projects. Work tends to be sophisticated in nature, often involving multi-party financing structures, layered capital stacks, and coordination across multiple jurisdictions. There is also selective exposure to project development elements, including early-stage structuring, stakeholder negotiations, and risk allocation across infrastructure assets.

Structured Finance Senior Associate - London An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a high-performing Structured Finance associate to join one of the market’s most strategically positioned practices in London. A leading international firm is continuing the growth of its Structured Finance offering and is actively looking to add a strong Senior Associate into the team as part of a broader long-term expansion plan. The group has built a particularly strong reputation across complex cross-border structured finance transactions and continues to win sophisticated mandates across the European market. This is not simply a replacement hire. The team is intentionally investing at Senior Associate level and is especially keen to speak with lawyers looking for a platform that offers genuine progression visibility, high-quality technical work and a more transparent long-term career structure than many competing firms. The practice itself is partner-heavy with a leaner associate structure beneath it, creating a very different dynamic to many larger City teams. For ambitious associates, this means: • Greater visibility internally, • Earlier access to meaningful responsibility, • Less hierarchy and fewer progression bottlenecks, • A much clearer route toward senior progression The work is broad, technical and consistently international in nature, with exposure including: • Private securitisations, • Structured lending transactions, • Complex and bespoke financing structures, • Cross-border and multi-jurisdictional matters, • Documentation-heavy transactions involving structuring and negotiation, • Structured insurance, reinsurance and asset servicing exposure The successful candidate will typically have: • 5–7 PQE, although strong candidates slightly outside this range will still be considered, • Strong private practice structured finance experience from a respected platform, • Experience handling complex transactions with significant technical depth, • Genuine client exposure and hands-on deal management experience, • Strong academics and stable career progression The firm offers an especially compelling platform for lawyers thinking carefully about long-term development. One of the standout aspects of the team is the clarity around progression. Unlike many firms where promotion criteria can feel opaque or political, the practice operates with a highly structured development framework that clearly outlines what is required at each level. Associates are given meaningful visibility over expectations, progression metrics and development areas well ahead of review periods. The pathway beyond Senior Associate is also unusually well-defined: • A Director route focused on leadership, business development and partnership progression, • An Of Counsel route for those wanting a more technically focused career track The compensation structure is similarly transparent, with: • Bonus potential reaching up to 30%, • Clear performance metrics and measurable targets, • Live visibility into performance tracking throughout the year From a lifestyle perspective, the team also offers one of the more balanced setups within the London market: • Hybrid working structure (3 days office / 2 days home), • 1,500-hour target across all levels, • Collaborative, sustainable team culture without sacrificing work quality Importantly, this should not be viewed as a “lifestyle” role in the traditional sense. The practice remains highly sophisticated and demanding, but operates with a noticeably more balanced and structured environment than many peer firms competing in the same space. The current external focus sits firmly at Senior Associate level, and strong profiles are likely to receive quick engagement and feedback. For associates looking to combine genuinely sophisticated structured finance work with a clearer and more achievable long-term progression path, this is an opportunity well worth exploring confidentially.

A specialist international disputes practice is looking to appoint a Senior Associate into its construction arbitration team, advising on complex, high value disputes across major infrastructure and energy projects. Working closely with partners across a global platform, you will take a central role in international arbitration matters, including shaping case strategy, drafting submissions and managing junior team members. The work is cross-border in nature and often involves disputes arising from large scale construction, engineering and natural resources projects. You will have direct exposure to clients, experts and tribunals, with the opportunity to build your profile through involvement in publications, client briefings and wider business development initiatives. Candidate profile: • England and Wales or common law qualified, • 6+ years’ PQE with strong arbitration experience, • Background in construction, infrastructure or energy disputes preferred, • Experience handling complex, high value international matters, • Strong academics and clear written and oral communication skills, • Additional language capability beneficial This is a genuinely collegiate environment where senior lawyers are given early responsibility, meaningful client exposure and a clear path to develop their own reputation in the market.

Corporate Associate International Energy & Cross-Border Deals - London We are working with a leading international law firm’s Corporate team in London to identify a 1–4 PQE Corporate Associate to join a high-performing, collaborative group focused on complex cross-border transactions. This is a role that sits within a team known for its international reach, strong commercial mindset, and unusually integrated working style across partners and associates. It is not a siloed practice area; instead, work is shared fluidly across the group, creating a genuinely team-driven environment where exposure is broad and varied from an early stage. The Opportunity This is a newly emerging hire driven by anticipated team capacity needs due to upcoming maternity leave within the Corporate group. While not yet fully signed off as a live mandate, the team is proactively building a pipeline of candidates in anticipation of demand later in the year. The role offers early visibility into a fast-paced flow of work spanning Africa, the Middle East, and the United States, with a strong emphasis on oil & gas transactions and broader energy-sector corporate work. Candidates can expect exposure to complex, multi-jurisdictional deals where execution challenges, regulatory considerations, and stakeholder dynamics vary significantly across regions. You will be working on transactions that are often high pressure and commercially sensitive, requiring the ability to move quickly, coordinate across time zones, and adapt to evolving deal structures. The nature of the work is intellectually demanding but also highly practical and commercially grounded. The Team The Corporate team is described internally as a close-knit, energetic group operating in a “wolf pack” style environment. The emphasis is on collaboration rather than hierarchy, with partners actively involved in day-to-day deal execution alongside associates. There is a strong sense of internal cohesion, with lawyers regularly working across different partners rather than being locked into one vertical. This creates a broad and varied workload, as well as significant exposure to different deal styles and client types. Culturally, the team is social, outgoing, and commercially driven. While the work is demanding, the environment is not overly formal or rigid compared to many traditional top-tier City practices. Personality fit and attitude are viewed as just as important as technical ability. Key partners within the group, including senior Corporate leadership, are closely involved in shaping the practice and will play an active role in the recruitment process as the opportunity progresses. Work Profile The work is heavily focused on cross-border Corporate transactions with a strong energy-sector tilt. Core areas include oil & gas deals, upstream and midstream transactions, joint ventures, and broader corporate structuring work connected to energy assets and infrastructure. There is also increasing exposure to renewables and energy transition-related mandates, although oil & gas remains the dominant and most established area of practice. A significant proportion of the work involves Africa-related transactions, often requiring navigation of complex legal frameworks, sovereign counterparties, and challenging execution environments. Middle Eastern mandates and U.S.-linked deals also form an important part of the team’s international footprint. Candidate Profile We are seeking a lawyer who is currently 1–4 years PQE in Corporate law, with a strong foundation in transactional work and demonstrable exposure to cross-border matters. Candidates trained or currently working within U.S. law firms or leading international firms are strongly preferred, given the team’s focus on high-intensity, multi-jurisdictional deal execution and fast-paced transaction environments. This background is seen as particularly aligned with the demands of the role. Experience in energy transactions, particularly oil & gas, is highly desirable and will be a key differentiator. Candidates with exposure to Africa or Middle East markets will also be viewed favourably, especially where they have worked on complex or less structured jurisdictions. Beyond technical capability, the team is looking for individuals who are adaptable, commercially aware, and comfortable operating in environments where deals may be fluid, fast-moving, and occasionally ambiguous in structure. A strong cultural fit is essential. The ideal candidate will be collaborative, proactive, and confident working closely with partners and other associates in a highly integrated team setting. Culture & Working Style The team operates a hybrid working model, currently around three days in the office and two days remote, with a potential shift towards increased in-office presence over time depending on firm-wide policy. Within the Corporate group, there is a strong degree of flexibility based on trust and performance. The emphasis is on delivery rather than presenteeism, and individuals who are consistently strong performers are given latitude in managing their working patterns. The pace of work is fast and reflects the international nature of the deals being handled. While there is no rigid billable hour culture being emphasised internally in this context, the workload is naturally demanding due to the scale and complexity of transactions. The environment is best suited to lawyers who enjoy dynamic, deal-heavy work and who are comfortable operating across jurisdictions and time zones without heavy structural constraints. Why This Role This opportunity offers access to a level of cross-border Corporate work typically associated with top-tier U.S. and international firms, particularly in the energy space, but within a more collaborative and less hierarchical environment. Compensation is expected to be benchmarked against leading U.S. firms, meaning candidates are not required to compromise on remuneration when moving into a more flexible and team-oriented culture. The key differentiator is the working environment: rather than a highly rigid or intensely siloed structure, this team offers a more integrated, personality-driven approach where associates work closely with partners and gain broader exposure across jurisdictions and deal types. This is particularly attractive for lawyers seeking meaningful international deal experience across Africa, the Middle East, and the U.S. While working in a culture that places strong emphasis on teamwork, development, and long-term progression. Next Steps This is an early-stage, confidential search, and the role is not yet formally live. However, the team is actively engaging with suitable candidates in advance of anticipated demand later in the year. If you are a Corporate Associate looking to deepen your exposure to cross-border energy transactions within a high-performing yet collaborative international team, this represents a compelling opportunity to explore.
