This position is currently open in the Firm’s Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices, with a possibility to relocate to London, Hong Kong, Singapore, or New York, depending on the candidate’s qualification and personal preference and the Firm’s needs.
An ideal candidate would have:
- a degree from a top Russian university or a leading law school from a common law jurisdiction
- 2-4 years of experience advising on banking & finance mandates gained at a prominent international law firm
- fluency in English and Russian (fluency in Arabic or Spanish would be an advantage)
- good command of English contract law
- a deep understanding of the LMA documentation (experience in LSTA documentation would be an advantage)
- a working understanding of international sanctions against Russia
Admission to practice in a common law jurisdiction (UK, any US state, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) is a strong advantage but not a pre-requisite to apply. Please note that the Firm expects any Russian-qualified lawyer to become admitted in at least one common law jurisdiction within 18-24 months after joining, in parallel to working full time on the team’s projects.
A successful candidate should be prepared to work with different time zones.
This is a position for a dedicated banking and finance lawyer. However, the Firm also welcomes applications from candidates with other transactional background.
Please send your CV in English to mail. Note that you do not need to be in UAE to apply – all interviews will be conducted by video conference and the Firm will assist the successful candidate with getting a work permit in the UAE.
