Corporate Energy Partner

A rare opportunity has arisen for a Partner or Partner-track LNG Lawyer to join a highly regarded international energy platform in London. The team is looking to add a senior Corporate/Commercial energy Lawyer with a particular focus on LNG sale and purchase agreements, gas marketing and broader cross-border LNG projects and transactions. The practice already acts on a range of complex international energy mandates, but there is a clear strategic need for an additional senior Lawyer capable of leading and growing this offering from London. The ideal candidate is likely to have experience comparable to leading LNG practitioners in the market – advising sponsors, traders, utilities and energy majors on long-term SPAs, project development, joint ventures and related commercial arrangements across the LNG value chain. International experience, particularly across Asia, the Middle East or other major LNG markets, would be especially attractive. The firm is open to speaking with established Partners as well as ambitious Counsel-level Lawyers seeking a supported path to Partnership. A modest following would be sufficient for the right individual, given the existing workflow and immediate demand within the practice.
