Dubai, United Arab Emirates Norton Rose Fulbright Full time

**Associate**

**Project Finance (Dubai)**

Job description

**The Team**

We have an opportunity for a mid-level associate to join our projects team in Dubai. The role will involve a particular emphasis on project finance, but would also involve general banking related work.

Working in the Norton Rose Fulbright (Middle East) LLP projects team provides a unique opportunity to experience and develop a broad range of projects-related skills working together with an integrated team encompassing lawyers based in Dubai.

We have a top tier project team across the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Our work covers all major classes of projects and all types of structures. We operate across all industry sectors and are market leaders in the energy, transport, infrastructure and mining sectors. The client base includes leading banks and financial institutions, sponsors and developers, major corporates and export credit and other government agencies.

Most transactions have an international and multi-jurisdictional aspect to them and many involve working with colleagues in specialist areas across our international network such as dispute resolution, real estate, technology, insurance, securitization, capital markets, Islamic finance, and corporate finance and corporate

rescue/restructuring. At the same time, our projects lawyers get the opportunity to develop a real commercial understanding of one or more key industries and their requirements.

We advise across the full spectrum of legal banking and finance matters, acting for parties ranging from multinational lenders to growth corporations. Clients depend on us for legal advice on day-to-day banking and finance issues for issuers, underwriters, borrowers and lenders, as well as for our leadership in complex, cross-border banking and finance transactions for some of the world's most prominent financial institutions and corporations.

**The Role**

**Skills and Experience Required**
- 3 to 5 years of projects finance experience across both infrastructure and energy sectors. Knowledge of the local and regional markets will be a key advantage;
- English law qualified, or qualified in another Commonwealth jurisdiction, preferably with experience of working in a major financial centre;
- Demonstrate intellectual rigor - the ability to analyse, think laterally and proffer solutions quickly;
- Possess strong drafting skills;
- Experience of taking a lead associate role on transactions, together with responsibility for supervisions of more junior team members and supervision/interface with local counsel;
- Demonstrate an aptitude for dealing with complex and intricate transactions involving multiple jurisdictions and that require a more creative approach;
- Communicate effectively on both a practical and intellectual level and be an active listener; and
- Have an interest in, and an aptitude for, developing the firm's business, and a willingness to assist in the development of client relationships through meetings, presentations, producing know-how and other business development initiatives.

**Advantages**
- A familiarity with a wide range of finance and security documentation typically entered into across structured finance and, in particular, project financed transactions, including LMA form of documentation, as well as a wider understanding of project structures and project documentation typically entered into in power and infrastructure projects especially in the Middle East region.
