An elite US law firm in London is seeking an Australian-qualified associate (4+ PQE) to join its highly regarded project development and infrastructure team in London.

The team is recognised for advising on large-scale, complex and cross-border energy and infrastructure projects, acting for a broad client base including sponsors, lenders and developers.

Their work spans the full project lifecycle, from early-stage development and structuring through to financing, execution and delivery, often on some of the most high-profile and technically challenging transactions in the market.

This is an opportunity to join a top-tier, internationally integrated platform with a strong reputation for handling market-leading mandates across energy transition, infrastructure and related sectors. The team offers a genuinely collaborative environment, with exposure to cutting-edge projects, significant client interaction and cross-border deal experience from the outset.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Be Australian-qualified with 4+ PQE
  • Have experience in projects, and/or infrastructure development from a leading practice in Australia
  • Demonstrate strong technical ability alongside a commercial, solutions-driven mindset
  • Be motivated to work on complex, international matters within a high-performing and fast-paced environment

This role offers excellent scope for development, responsibility and progression, working closely with a well-established team on some of the most significant projects in the global market.
