**Job Description**:
**The Role**

Clifford Chance's Middle East Construction Group is unique in operating at the top tier of all construction industry sectors across the MENA region. Our approach is to be innovative and commercial, providing a complete and market-leading service to clients to bring their most significant projects to fruition.

**The Group's four main areas of work comprises**

**Energy and Utilities**

We work across the energy spectrum. We have a market leading position on major renewable and energy transition projects, including green hydrogen, nuclear, wind, CSP+storage, solar and CCS projects as well as on major thermal utilities, water/wastewater and projects across the oil and gas value chain. Recent examples include advising on the largest wind IPPs in Egypt, recent solar PV IPPs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a USD 6bn major petrochemicals expansion complex in Abu Dhabi, a cogeneration and desalination plant in KSA and LNG liquefaction and regas projects.

**Real Estate & New Communities**

From development of whole new cities to urban regeneration; from sports stadia to luxury hotels and other iconic single assets; and dynamic new asset classes such as data centres, film studios and major railway infrastructure-adjacent developments.

**Social and Transport Infrastructure**

We are proud to be associated with some of the world's most iconic and vital transport, utilities, defence and social infrastructure projects. We are currently working on light rail projects, new hospitals, greenfield and brownfield airport projects and major new bridges and tunnel projects across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Latin America.

**Key Attractions**

The only leading law firm to maintain a highly specialist construction team of such size and dedicated cross-sector focus.

The future of the practice: the quality of our instructions and the continuing success of the Construction Group make it one of the leading places to be doing this kind of work.

A wide variety of instructions from a variety of clients, including the very biggest and complex deals. We work with some of the firm's strategic clients on projects which will touch and change all of our lives - often involving pathfinding technology.

Regular training sessions, alternating between detailed, single issue reviews and broader industry topics - an intensive regime of training and skills development keeps us at the top of our game as Construction lawyers.

Knowledge sharing - members of the Group regularly contribute to blogs and pitches as well as delivering workshops to clients and contacts.

A highly competitive base salary, with potential for a substantial bonus under the Clifford Chance bonus scheme.

Great prospects for long-term career development.

**Who you will work with**

As part of the group, you will work closely with the firm's top-ranked Energy & Infrastructure, Corporate, Real Estate, and International Arbitration Groups, often in other offices in the network. Our clients are primarily project sponsors, state-owned enterprises and developers, but we also advise lenders, investors and contractors

The UAE Construction team is fully integrated with the International Construction Group, and regularly works with Construction team across our global network (with a particularly close relationship with our Construction team members in Riyadh and London).

The group is non-hierarchical and highly focused on development of its team members. Junior Lawyers will find themselves working directly with Partners as well as senior associates and also handling certain matters themselves.

**What you will be responsible for**

Lawyers working in our Construction Group act for sponsors/developers, funders, contractors and other project participants and you can expect to be involved in the drafting, negotiation and analysis of construction, operation/FM and ancillary documentation.

There is a clear transactional bias to the Group's work and our Lawyers are required to involve themselves in the management and organisation of teams of clients, Lawyers and professional advisers. You will utilise client focus initiatives to understand and drive service levels to meet client needs.

Managing matters with a disciplined practice is key, including adhering to matter opening and conflicts clearance processes.

We have a wide range of tools and support services available and you will be expected to utilise Best Delivery tools: e.g. templates, Legal Support Centre, Resource Management, Legal Project Managers and Matter Balance Reports.

We encourage all Lawyers to take charge of their own development and you will be expected to complete any mandatory and relevant skills, risk and legal training.
