This is a rare opportunity for an experienced lawyer to play a central legal role in a high-profile cross-border infrastructure project.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing the project development agreement, including the Agreement for Lease with the developer.
  • Leading the legal interface with local counsel, reviewing advice, overseeing contract alignment, and managing jurisdictional differences.
  • Providing practical advice on contract administration issues such as variations, extensions of time, and cost claims.
  • Advising on risk management, dispute resolution, and legal compliance frameworks across both jurisdictions.
  • Supporting broader project governance processes including reporting to executives and project boards.
