The Opportunity

We are seeking a Solicitor to join our market leading Band 1 Energy and Infrastructure team based in Sydney.

In this role you will work closely with leading partners David Ryan and Peter Davis as well as the broader team of specialists across our national practice.

Energy and Infrastructure is a key strategic choice growth area in our Ambition strategy. You will have the opportunity to work on 'first in market' projects and with clients, in Australia and internationally, who are at the forefront of the energy transition and private capital in the infrastructure sector.

You will undertake a range of work that supports national and international clients, including advising on mergers & acquisitions, project development, joint ventures, policy & regulation and complex commercial contracting in the energy and infrastructure sectors. The team has been involved on many of the largest infrastructure transactions in Australia in the airports, ports, roads, rail, digital, energy and social infrastructure spaces. The team is also at the forefront of the significant changes occurring in the Australian energy sector, including the establishment of renewable energy zones, interconnector development, offshore wind and hydrogen projects. Our clients include Governments and regulators, infrastructure and superannuation funds, trading houses, leading energy companies and energy project developers.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • demonstrable experience across any of M&A, project development, policy and regulation and complex commercial contracting. This experience does not need to have been within the energy and infrastructure sectors.
  • an excellent academic record coupled with strong legal skills and a practical mindset.

  • an ability to work to tight timeframes, collaboratively and at times autonomously.

  • We're a world leading international law firm with a global team of over 5,000 professionals. As the market leader in Australia, we are committed to high performance, collaboration, diversity and digital innovation. We are client-centred, commercially driven, and renowned for our solution-focused expertise. We will align your growth with our ambitions.
  • We make your personal and professional growth our business. And as part of the team, our ambition is yours too. Wherever you are in your career: grow and help the firm grow with you.
  • We will provide opportunities to learn on the job as well as a mix of learning opportunities tailored to you. Daily experiences, supportive challenges, team collaboration, mentors, and structured learning opportunities help you to expand your knowledge and reach your goals.
