Associate - London Infrastructure, Projects & Energy
As part of our on-going AG2030 growth strategy, we are seeking an Associate to join the London Infrastructure, Projects & Energy team to help service our expanding roster of project finance clients across the energy and infrastructure sectors.
You will be working closely with 3 partners (focussed on power, renewables and broader energy / infrastructure project finance), the London IPE fee-earning team as well as the larger IPE team located across our UK and international offices.
What You'll Do
- Immersed in a dynamic practice specialising in energy and infrastructure project finance, with significant exposure to cross-border, multi-source financings (including bank debt, capital markets, ECA and DFI funding), refinancings and secondary market transactions.
- Work on matters in the UK and internationally across a range of sectors including conventional and nuclear power, renewables (wind, solar, hydropower, battery storage), industrial gases, LNG and other strategic infrastructure such as ports, roads and logistics assets.
- Focus on supporting clients from early structuring and term sheet negotiation, through execution of finance and project documentation, to amendments, restructurings and refinancings.
- Act for high-profile clients, becoming a trusted adviser on complex and high-value transactions.
- Work closely with partners and clients on project-level documentation (such as offtake, construction and O&M contracts) where needed for bankability, and on due diligence of project documentation in connection with financings, acquisitions, disposals and joint-ventures.
- Outstanding career prospects within an expanding, entrepreneurial and sociable team. Our market-leading Associate development programme will help you map out key objectives and timescales for your career progression and provide you with a mentor and frequent check-ins.

- Ideally have experience of cross-border or multi-source project financings (for example involving ECAs, DFIs, mezzanine or capital markets funding), or a strong interest in developing expertise in these areas.
- Enthusiasm, resilience and ambition to find solutions to clients’ legal and commercial challenges and requirements.
- Remain calm and optimistic in time-critical situations or under pressure, and be comfortable working on transactions with multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
- Inquisitive and want to understand our clients, their drivers and what matters to them, so that your advice has quality, imagination and impact.
