Project Development - Premium US Firm - Dubai

A rare opportunity to join a leading US firm's growing projects practice, with a defined need for a future partner.

Montresor Legal is representing a prestigious US law firm on a strategic hire for its growing project development practice in Dubai. The firm has identified a need for a future partner, creating an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious 5-7 PQE project development lawyer to join the platform and position themselves for future partnership.

The role will suit a high-calibre lawyer currently practising at a leading international or US law firm, with established experience advising Middle Eastern clients on complex project development matters. Candidates must bring both the technical strength expected of a top-tier practice and a demonstrable understanding of the regional market.

The work spans major infrastructure developments, power, water concessions and renewable energy projects across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, alongside broader mandates throughout the Middle East and Africa. The successful candidate will advise sponsors, developers, lenders and procuring authorities on significant, high-value projects.

For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to do more than join an established practice. It offers the chance to help drive the next stage of a prestigious US firm's regional projects platform, deepen key client relationships and work towards a future partnership within a firm that has identified a clear need at that level.

Candidates must have:

• 5-7 years' PQE in project development.
• Current experience at a leading international or US law firm.
• A strong track record advising Middle Eastern clients on project development matters.
• The ambition and commercial awareness to contribute to the growth of a leading regional practice.
