Senior Associate – Projects & Energy | Sydney

I’m working with a leading international law firm looking to add an experienced Senior Associate to its Projects & Energy practice in Sydney.

This is a particularly engaging opportunity for a senior projects lawyer looking for more than simply joining another large team.

The successful lawyer will work closely with the senior leadership of the practice and take on a key role within the Sydney team, with significant responsibility across matters, clients and the development of junior lawyers.

The prospect

The practice works across major projects in the energy, renewables and infrastructure sectors, and the preference is for someone who can bring genuine projects experience together with a robust understanding of the energy market.

The ideal candidate will have experience across renewable energy and energy-related projects, although lawyers with a broader infrastructure or construction background and meaningful energy-sector exposure are also encouraged to get in touch.

At this level, the opportunity goes beyond technical execution. You’ll have the chance to:
Take a leading role on significant projects and transactions
Work closely with senior practitioners and major clients




Manage matters with a high degree of autonomy
Supervise and mentor junior lawyers
Develop deeper expertise across the energy and renewables market
Take on genuine responsibility within the Sydney practice
Continue building your profile and client relationships at a senior level

About you

This would suit an experienced Senior Associate who has:
Strong projects experience gained within a recognised private practice
Experience across energy, renewables, infrastructure or major construction projects
The ability to take ownership of matters and manage workstreams independently
Confidence working directly with clients and senior stakeholders
Experience supervising more junior lawyers
An interest in taking on a more senior and influential role within a growing practice

Renewables and broader energy experience will be particularly highly regarded.

You don’t need to be actively looking. If you’re an experienced projects lawyer and would like to understand the opportunity, team or current market before deciding whether a move makes sense, I’m happy to have a confidential conversation.
