About the Role:

You will work closely with a group of specialists to support clients throughout the entire lifecycle of energy and infrastructure projects – from project development, design and construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance, to decommissioning or renewal.

You can expect to work not only on novel projects in Singapore but also first-of-its-kind cross-border projects and navigate the unique business, legal, and political landscapes of Southeast Asia. You will also be exposed to general corporate and commercial legal work – ensuring your development as an all-rounded corporate lawyer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Advising clients on the development, structuring, and implementation of energy and infrastructure projects, including greenfield and brownfield developments
• Drafting and negotiating agreements related to the generation, transmission, and sale of electricity, clean energy initiatives, desalination, utilities, and waste-water treatment/disposal projects
• Advising clients on the structuring and implementation of, and drafting and negotiating agreements related to, public-private partnership and infrastructure projects (including those related to power plants, data centres, waste-to-energy facilities, ports, transportation, and petrochemical facilities, tankage, terminalling, and logistics arrangements)
• Legal research and analysis on Singapore law and industry practices across various industry sectors
• Advising on, and preparing documentation for, general corporate matters and commercial transactions, covering areas such as the sale and purchase of goods, services arrangements, supply and distribution arrangements, hire-purchase arrangements, and employment
• Working closely with senior team members to deliver practical, client-focused solutions that address operational, regulatory, and commercial challenges

Requirements:

• Interest or background in energy, infrastructure, and project development
• Good drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
• Collaborative and cooperative personalities are welcome – we are looking for someone who enjoys working with and being part of a team
• Eagerness to learn and develop as a corporate lawyer
• Fluency in English required, and proficiency in an additional Asian language (e.g. Mandarin, Bahasa) is an advantage
