Regional Counsel, Energy Sector
We have partnered exclusively with a global, publicly traded energy company with global operations. The Gulf is an important region for them, and this will be a first hire on the ground.
So why this role in particular?
- Sole Counsel position reporting to the US, essentially you’ll be running your own market and deals.
- Rare opportunity to work for a listed multinational.
- Embed yourself into a company with market leading expertise, who are niche, busy and profitable.
What you’ll be doing:
- Overseeing new projects and assets, drafting and negotiating the associated commercial contracts and associated risks within.
- Managing complex energy contracts across financing, EPC, gas and assets.
- Supporting all the internal business units across legal and compliance matters.
Who you’ll likely need to be in order to succeed:
- Common law qualified with experience from sophisticated geographical energy markets (Gulf, US, Europe etc).
- Top tier law firm backgrounds are highly sought after, ideally combined with in-house energy work.
- There is some flexibility over seniority, but mid to senior is a guideline (5+ PQE to 12 PQE).
- Strong blended skill set that covers projects, project finance, EPC, power, LNG and maritime.
- Those based in the Gulf right now will be prioritised, but overseas applications are welcome.
