In this role, you will work with Partners Erin Wakelin and Elizabeth (Libby) Charlesworth, along with other leading Australian finance specialists in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, in a collaborative and cohesive national team.

Our Project Finance team is a market leader, advising on the most complex transactions in the energy transition, infrastructure, and mining sectors. The team advises on both domestic and international projects.

In the energy sector we work on traditional power and renewable energy transactions including wind, solar, energy-from-waste projects, battery energy storage systems, pumped hydro projects, electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, as well as hydrogen projects.

On the infrastructure side you will be involved in the financing of projects, assets, and acquisitions in sectors such as transport, healthcare, natural resources, social infrastructure, and social and affordable housing.

You will benefit from exceptional learning opportunities working with clients, in Australia and internationally, who are at the forefront of their sectors.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

Experience in finance transactions from a top-tier Australian firm or international private practice environment.

Ideally, 2-5 years of experience, though we will consider candidates with either more or less experience.

Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines.

Excellent attention to detail coupled with a practical mindset.

A collaborative and self-motivated approach.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface at all levels and build strong relationships both internally and with clients.

A team player mentality, with the ability to develop and work in a fast-paced, intellectually rigorous environment.

A strong academic record.

Admission to practice in Australia or New Zealand.

What you can expect from us:

We are 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.

Join us to be part of a human, bold and outstanding team at Australia's market leading law firm.
