Leading US Firm Seeks Project Finance Lawyer for London Team
A leading US firm is looking to add a project finance lawyer to its London team. The practice focuses on a select number of exceptionally large and complex international projects, offering associates the chance to work closely with a small team on transactions that sit at the top end of the market.
Scope of Work
The work spans LNG, oil and gas, mining, metals, and infrastructure, with a particular focus on projects in emerging markets. Recent mandates have included multibillion-dollar financings in Africa and major mining projects in Asia. The role offers exposure to the financing of these projects, as well as related investment and corporate arrangements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
