A prestigious international law firm is seeking a dedicated Energy, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure Mid-Associate Lawyer to join their highly respected Jakarta-based team. This is an exceptional opportunity for you to work at the forefront of Indonesia’s energy transition sector, supporting landmark projects that shape the future of energy, natural resources, and infrastructure across the region. You will be part of a knowledgeable and supportive network of legal professionals who are committed to sharing expertise and fostering growth.

What you'll do:

As an Energy, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure Mid-Associate Lawyer, you will play an integral role in supporting major project developments throughout Indonesia’s rapidly evolving energy landscape. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve drafting intricate legal documents tailored to complex transactions while collaborating seamlessly with colleagues across various jurisdictions. You will be expected to engage deeply with regulatory frameworks affecting the ENRI sector—identifying practical solutions for clients navigating challenging permitting issues. By acting as a central point of contact for clients on operational matters, you will ensure consistent quality in service delivery while managing expectations around deadlines. Your ability to nurture junior team members through supportive leadership will be essential as you help foster an inclusive culture of learning. Additionally, your involvement in business development initiatives will contribute significantly to the firm’s strategic objectives. Through proactive client engagement both on active deals and beyond, you will help maintain robust relationships that underpin successful outcomes for all parties involved.

• Draft, review, and amend complex legal documentation related to energy, natural resources, and infrastructure transactions, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations.
• Engage proactively with regulatory frameworks pertinent to the ENRI sector by identifying practical solutions to regulatory and permitting challenges faced by clients.
• Collaborate closely with partners and lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and practice groups to manage workstreams efficiently, coordinate stakeholders effectively, and ensure timely delivery under demanding timelines.
• Serve as a key point of contact for clients and counterparties on day-to-day matters by maintaining clear communication channels and consistently delivering high-quality service.
• Manage client expectations regarding deadlines and project delivery while ensuring all aspects of matter management are handled responsibly.
• Provide leadership and supervision to junior team members by nurturing their professional growth through supportive guidance and constructive feedback.
• Identify business development opportunities within the ENRI sector by assisting with group-wide strategies aimed at expanding the firm’s market presence.
• Engage actively with clients both during deals and outside transactional periods to build strong long-term relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
• Support end-to-end transactional processes on ENRI deals including matter management activities designed to maximise financial contribution for the firm.

What you bring:

To excel as an Energy, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure Mid-Associate Lawyer in this esteemed organisation, your background should reflect significant experience gained at top-tier law firms—particularly those engaged in large-scale project development or finance assignments within the ENRI space. Your proven track record should include hands-on involvement in drafting sophisticated legal documents as well as managing complex client relationships across multiple jurisdictions. A commitment to nurturing junior talent through empathetic mentorship is highly valued here; your interpersonal skills will help create an environment where everyone feels supported. Above all else, your ability to communicate clearly—both verbally and in writing—will enable you to build lasting connections internally among colleagues as well as externally with clients.

• 7+ years’ experience as a corporate lawyer at a leading law firm, with exposure to project development/finance related work, upstream oil & gas, and/or infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated evidence of fulfilling complex roles involving drafting documentation, managing client relationships, supervising junior staff members, and handling multifaceted transactions.
• Strong academic credentials supported by an Indonesian bar qualification (PERADI); an overseas master’s degree would be considered advantageous but not mandatory.
• Proven ability to guide junior colleagues through collaborative mentorship while embodying supportive leadership qualities that encourage professional growth within the team.
• Exceptional organisational skills enabling effective management of multiple workstreams under tight deadlines without compromising quality or attention to detail.
• Entrepreneurial mindset paired with sound commercial acumen allowing you to identify new business opportunities aligned with the firm’s strategic priorities.
• Clear understanding of law firm economics coupled with insight into how individual contributions support broader organisational goals.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills facilitating concise yet comprehensive interactions with clients from diverse backgrounds.
