About the role
We are currently seeking projects, front end construction, and infrastructure lawyers with a minimum of eight years' post-qualification experience, some of which in a law firm akin to A&O Shearman, for opportunities with our clients, both in Australia and in the Middle East.
If you are a highly skilled and self-driven lawyer with technical experience in the below areas, then we are keen to hear from you:
Roles for clients in the Middle East will require relocation or routine travel to the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia and involve a flexible working pattern to accommodate the time zone if and when working from Australia.
Please note that Peerpoint offers visa support in the UAE, therefore if you are open to relocating there, please reach out to our team to see if and how we can assist.
Successful applicants will:
A career with Peerpoint is unmatched in the market. Over the last decade, we've helped lead the transformation of legal consulting as a truly credible option alongside private practice and in-house legal careers. We also have one of the most supportive offerings around, all with the full backing of A&O Shearman.
