A partner-level appointment of this kind is decided by what the practice can carry across, far more than on any headline figure.

Senior partner hire to lead and grow project finance, energy and infrastructure work in Riyadh for a leading international practice. The role will support an expanding regional pipeline across energy and infrastructure transactions, acting as a senior originator and deal leader.

Ideally based in the UAE with regular travel across the Gulf, the role suits a partner with an established regional network and experience advising sponsors, lenders and governments on complex financings and infrastructure projects.

Significant partner-level experience in project finance, energy and infrastructure transactions in the GCC region
Proven regional relationships and demonstrable origination track record
Ability to lead cross-border teams and manage complex multi-party deals
Portable book of business of $1M+ (USD)

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
