Energy Lawyer

Overview

• RAYNE is growing, and we're looking for strong, talented energy lawyers to join our consultant team.
• From large-scale renewables and hydrogen projects to conventional oil and gas transactions and the evolving regulatory landscape, the demand for experienced, commercially astute energy lawyers has never been stronger.
• As a consultant at RAYNE, you will be embedded directly within client organisations, functioning as a genuine extension of their in-house legal teams.
• Secondments vary in length, sector, and legal discipline.
• Throughout every engagement, you will have the full backing of the RAYNE team behind you.
• Our model is founded on trust, flexibility, and lasting relationships, with our clients and our consultants alike.
• What you'll be doing:
• You will be seconded to our clients and will work on a broad range of matters, including:
• Advising on upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas transactions and projects
• Supporting renewable energy, clean energy, and infrastructure mandates across the region
• Drafting and negotiating project documents, joint venture agreements, and energy contracts
• Advising on regulatory, licensing, and compliance matters across GCC jurisdictions
• Working alongside client leadership, technical teams, and government stakeholders
• Supporting project finance, concession arrangements, and cross-border energy deals
• What we're looking for:
• A qualified lawyer with 5+ years' PQE in energy, projects, or natural resources
• Experience across private practice and in-house, ideally with GCC exposure
• Strong familiarity with project development, joint ventures, or energy regulation
• Experience with ADNOC, DEWA, or other regional energy players is a distinct advantage
• Commercially minded, pragmatic, and comfortable working in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• Fluency in English essential; Arabic highly advantageous
• Why RAYNE?
• We work around you, not the other way around. Whether you're looking for full-time secondments or more varied, project-based engagements, we structure opportunities to suit your life and your ambitions.
• You'll be embedded at the heart of client organisations, advising on significant, high-quality mandates, not sitting on the periphery. Our clients trust us to deliver, and they trust our consultants to lead.
• You won't be on your own. The RAYNE team provides consistent support before, during, and after every engagement, from onboarding through to the end of each secondment and beyond.
• Access diverse sectors, organisations, and working environments that broaden your experience in ways that traditional practice rarely can.
• If this sounds like you or you are interested to find out more, then we'd love to hear from you.
