Taylor Root

Corporate, investments and M&A lawyers

Are you an experienced M&A and corporate transactions lawyer looking to work on some of the most significant deals in the global energy, infrastructure and industrial sectors?

Our clients, leading organisations across the Middle East’s energy and infrastructure landscape, are actively expanding their in-house legal teams. Whether you’re already based in the region or considering a move, this is a unique opportunity to join organisations at the forefront of strategic acquisitions, divestments, joint ventures, investment platforms and international expansion initiatives.

Why consider these opportunities?

  • Market-leading organisations – Join respected national champions, sovereign backed investors and globally recognised listed multinationals driving transformational growth across the region and beyond.
  • High-profile M&A and strategic transactions – Work on a steady pipeline of complex domestic and cross border acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, investments, restructurings and strategic partnerships.
  • World-class legal teams – Collaborate with highly regarded legal professionals in sophisticated, international standard environments where legal is a key advisor on business critical transactions and corporate strategy.
  • Regional influence with global reach – Support investments and transactions that shape the future of energy, infrastructure, industrials and emerging technologies across multiple jurisdictions.

What you’ll be doing:

As part of a high-performing in-house legal team, you will:

  • Lead and support complex M&A transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, carve-outs, strategic investments and joint ventures.
  • Advise business leaders and investment teams on transaction structuring, execution strategy and legal risk throughout the deal lifecycle.
  • Draft, negotiate and manage key transaction documentation, including share purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements, joint venture agreements, subscription agreements and related ancillary documents.
  • Coordinate and oversee legal due diligence processes, working closely with internal stakeholders, external counsel, financial advisors and other transaction counterparties.
  • Support post-completion integration, corporate restructuring and transaction related governance matters.
  • Partner closely with senior executives and business leaders to deliver pragmatic, commercially focused legal advice on strategic growth initiatives.
  • Contribute to transformative deals that are central to long term growth, diversification and value creation strategies.

What we’re looking for:

To succeed in these roles, you’ll typically bring:

  • Qualification in a common law jurisdiction.
  • Approximately 5-15 years’ post-qualification experience.
  • Experience gained with a leading international law firm and/or within a sophisticated multinational corporate environment.
  • Strong experience advising on M&A, private equity, corporate transactions, joint ventures and strategic investments.
  • A proven track record managing complex cross border transactions from inception through to completion.
  • The ability to effectively manage multiple stakeholders, including senior executives, investment teams, financial advisors and external counsel.
  • Strong commercial judgment, business acumen and the confidence to operate within fast-paced, high profile and transaction driven environments.

Preferred Backgrounds:

We are particularly interested in lawyers with experience in:

  • Energy and natural resources M&A.
  • Infrastructure and project investment transactions.
  • Private equity and sovereign investment platforms.
  • Strategic joint ventures and partnerships.
  • International acquisitions and cross border investments.
