Detail information about job Banking & Finance Lawyer | 3-8yrs PQE | Dubai. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Dubai based role
  • 90 plus lawyers across the region
  • Strong banking practice

We have been asked by a leading Middle Eastern practice to make a call out to ambitious and adventurous kiwi lawyers who might be interested in a move to the Middle East. It has become a less well-trodden path in recent years, but the opportunities, experience and rewards remain.


A leading regional firm is looking for an experienced mid to senior level banking lawyer to join their Dubai based Banking & Finance  Practice Group. They are one of the oldest and biggest firms in the region. They deal with a broad spectrum of banking and finance work for the firm's local and international clients. Work typically relates to project finance, real estate finance, financial services and Islamic finance. As such experience of transactional work and drafting and negotiating finance and security documents is essential.  


They are one of the few firms that have a full-service practice and work in English, as well as local UAE law. 90% of the clients are international and very few have representatives on the ground and so the relationship can be akin to in-house counsel, sitting a genuine trusted advisor. You are guaranteed a very varied working week. This role works directly with the Head of Banking and so you will be at the heart of the team with access to excellent mentoring and training.


They are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic and see the value of working as a team. You will be expected to contribute to the development of the practice, through BD or through adding to the reputation and brand and, importantly, you should be proud of that contribution rather than see it as a burden. You will likely have experience from a larger firm, but it will be the quality and breadth of your banking experience that will be most important. 


The firm has had good experiences hiring kiwis and in fact the Head of Property and Commercial is a kiwi, so he would be able to offer insight into the transition. There is comprehensive training already in place to get overseas lawyers up to speed and that commitment to training is seen as vital through the firm regardless of level or experience.


The Dubai office the the larger of the two offices and has an incredibly diverse team, although 65% of lawyers would be from a Western background. They work hard to welcome newcomers and there is plenty of help to get you settled, and involved in the social side of Dubai life as well.
