A leading international law firm is seeking a mid-level to senior associate with at least four years of project finance experience to join its growing Infrastructure, Energy, Resources & Projects practice in Washington, DC. This role offers the chance to take a leading role on complex, market-shaping transactions at the intersection of finance, business, and government.

The associate will lead significant workstreams on project finance and related transactions, coordinate directly with partners and clients, and help drive execution across multidisciplinary deal teams. A core part of the role involves serving as an integrator across transactions—translating commercial, financing, regulatory, and sector-specific considerations into practical advice and ensuring matters are staffed, managed, and delivered efficiently.

Ideal for a strong project finance lawyer excited by responsibility, ownership, and the chance to help build a high-growth platform. The associate will also supervise and mentor junior lawyers interested in developing project finance experience, helping to create an additional layer of leadership for sophisticated, cross-border matters.

Minimum four years of project finance experience
Strong drafting, transaction management, judgment, and interpersonal skills
Excellent academic credentials and a law degree from an ABA-accredited law school
Membership in a U.S. state bar
Commitment to client service and ability to thrive in a collaborative, entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment
Experience with energy and infrastructure, ECA/DFI financings, Latin America, aerospace and defense, or space and satellite matters is a plus
