Senior Project Finance Lawyer – Remote Consultancy Opportunity (8+ PQE)

A highly regarded boutique law firm within the projects, energy and infrastructure sector is seeking to engage an experienced Project Finance Lawyer on a remote consultancy basis, supporting a strong pipeline of work across the Gulf.

This opportunity is aimed at lawyers with upwards of 8 years’ PQE who bring deep project finance expertise and are looking for a more flexible, portfolio-style way of working. You will play a key role in advising on complex, cross-border transactions, often linked to large-scale infrastructure and energy developments.

Consultants can expect an initial flow of work equivalent to circa 20 hours per week, with the likelihood of this increasing as demand grows.

The workload will involve project finance elements of PPP and infrastructure projects across Gulf region. As such, prior regional experience is essential.

The Opportunity:

• Work on high-value, international project finance transactions
• Flexible, fully remote consultancy model
• Ability to integrate alongside other professional commitments
• Scope to build longer-term involvement as workflow increases

Candidate Requirements:

• Qualified in England & Wales, or other commonwealth jurisdictions such as Australia and/or New Zealand, for example
• 8+ years’ PQE with a strong grounding in project finance
• Proven experience advising on projects across the Gulf region
• Background in a leading international or City law firm
• Confident working independently with strong commercial judgement
• Interest in flexible, consultancy-based legal work

This role is particularly well suited to experienced lawyers seeking to maintain exposure to top-tier international work, while benefiting from greater control over their time and workload.

A competitive hourly rate is on offer.
