The role

Join the Oil & Gas Practice in Abu Dhabi as an associate.

The work focuses on non-contentious oil and gas matters, including upstream drilling, oilfield services, and development and construction of sector assets and facilities.

The team predominantly advises national oil company operators across the Middle East on complex, high-value projects and commercial arrangements.

Key responsibilities

  • Advise on upstream oil and gas projects and commercial arrangements.
  • Work on drilling and well services contracts and day-rate rig hire agreements.
  • Handle oilfield equipment procurement, supply contracts, and other procurement, supply chain, and commercial contracts.
  • Advise on front-end construction and development of oil and gas assets, infrastructure, and facilities.
  • Work on EPC, EPCIC, EPCM, FEED, BOOT, and PMC contracts and arrangements.
  • Review, draft, and negotiate complex commercial and project documentation.
  • Support clients throughout the contracting and procurement lifecycle.
  • Work alongside Partners and senior lawyers and support client relationship development.

About you

  • At least 2 years’ post-qualification experience (PQE), or equivalent.
  • Strong experience in non-contentious oil and gas, energy, or projects work.
  • Relevant experience in an international, regional, or specialist energy law firm or an in-house legal team.
  • Strong oil and gas exposure, ideally including upstream, drilling, or oilfield services.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts, with exposure to procurement and supply chain arrangements.
  • Experience with some listed contract types is beneficial, not essential across every type; transferable commercial contracting experience will be considered.
  • Strong academic credentials, written and verbal communication, drafting, negotiation, and commercial skills.
  • Able to prioritize competing work, collaborate and work independently, and build rapport with clients.
  • Able to lead and delegate, foster a collaborative team, and work effectively with senior stakeholders.
