Our client is a leading global law firm, with a large and prestigious network of offices established in all key financial centres around the world.
Its highly regarded full service Moscow office has been established for more than twenty years, and is known to be one of the most collegiate, and successful law firms operating in the region. It has consistently high rankings in all the regional legal directories across the practice groups.
Its leading Russian banking and finance practice is regularly involved in ground-breaking deals across the region, representing pre-eminent global investment banks and leading Russian banks on the full range of banking and finance transactions taking place in the region.
The Head of Russian banking is now looking to expand the team by the hire of an additional talented UK qualified project finance associate on the ground in Moscow. Workload will involve the range of banking and finance transactions, but with a particular focus on project finance transactions in the energy sector throughout the CIS region and beyond.
Your profile as a lawyer should be as follows:
- English law qualified;
- From 3-6 years post qualified;
- Strong academics;
- Significant project finance experience from a leading global law firm in London;
- Russian language skills not needed.
On offer is the chance to join one of the top ranking Russian finance practices in the region, and to undertake a leading role in cutting-edge transactions. Working with both UK and Russian finance partners on the ground in Moscow, you will play a key role involving high levels of client contact and autonomy in a high achieving, dynamic team. Medium term promotion prospects are excellent, and a highly competitive expat compensation package including housing allowance and full relocation package will be provided.
