  • At least 10 years of experience gained in a sophisticated law firm or corporation, preferably within a major international or national energy company or oilfield services organization.
  • Demonstrated in-depth understanding of the upstream oil and gas industry, including LNG and gas project development.
  • Proven ability to negotiate complex commercial agreements and deliver clear, practical legal advice to business clients.
  • Strong leadership and mentorship experience, with the ability to guide junior legal professionals.
