Project Finance Lawyers - 1-4 yrs' pqe - Paris

Gide Loyrette Nouel is the leading full service law firm in France with over 70 partners and 400 lawyers working out of Paris and 12 offices world-wide.

Our project finance team is led by six partners and comprised of bilingual lawyers qualified in English, French, New York, Canadian and Australian jurisdictions. The team has substantial experience of advising participants on all sides of project financing transactions, from operators, developers and equity investors, offtakers and commercial banks, export credit agencies and multilateral financing institutions. We cover a wide range of sectors including energy (generation and distribution), water and waste treatment, toll roads, bridges, railways, ports and telecoms.

As you would expect, we are active in France and internationally and have assisted on a number of high profile (and often pilot) infrastructure projects in Eastern Europe, Africa and China.

While being based in Paris, at the firm's head office, you would have a unique opportunity to work on deals all over the world.

We are currently looking for project finance lawyers with 1-4 years experience for our Paris office. The work will be varied, challenging and international in nature and there will be opportunities for secondments overseas. The package will be highly competitive internationally and will include a relocation allowance.

You will have a strong academic background, a good grounding in project finance and be ready and prepared to try something different that will significantly enhance your career prospects. As an expanding law firm, partnership is a real possibility. You will have knowledge of the French language but you do not necessarily need to be fluent. An English partner, for example, joined with only ‘A' level French as background but with a strong commitment to learn and is now fluent and called to the Paris Bar.

So why not send us your cv. This is an outstanding opportunity for non-French lawyers who wish to work in a challenging environment that will promote your professional and personal development.

Alternatively, you might be a French lawyer who wishes to return to France. In either case, if you recognise yourself in the above description we would like to hear from you.
