Project Finance recruitment in Washington — common questions

What does the Project Finance candidate profile look like in Washington?

Washington's Project Finance lawyers typically combine transactional deal experience with exposure to public-sector and development-finance counterparties — export credit agencies, multilateral development banks, or federal infrastructure programmes. Strong candidates hold a track record on the documentation side of complex, often cross-border deals and are comfortable navigating regulatory approval processes that run alongside financial close. Associates tend to be valued for diligence depth; senior candidates are assessed on relationship capital and the ability to originate or steward mandates independently. Speak with our team for a precise benchmark against your open role.

We currently have 23 live project finance roles in Washington, spanning 3 partner-level and 20 associate or counsel positions. Most mandates in this market are handled confidentially — these are the roles we are in a position to share openly.

What compensation do project finance roles typically offer?
