You will work on a wide range of financial markets matters, including debt and equity capital markets, structured finance, Islamic finance, and regulatory work. Clients include sovereign entities, major financial institutions, and corporates engaged in transformative projects across the region.
Candidate Profile:
-
2–4 years’ PQE with solid experience in financial markets law
