Job Description

At abrdn we empower our clients to plan, save and invest for their futures.


Through the expertise, insight and innovation of our team, we aim to help clients create more ways for money to make an impact. We set our sights on giving them more confidence to achieve their goals, and more clarity about what they need next.

About the department

The Core Infrastructure team targets European mid-market opportunities across the energy, utilities, transport and digital infrastructure sectors. Our clients include pension funds, banks and insurance companies from the UK, US Japan and Europe.

Infrastructure is a growing segment of the private market investment sector, and abrdn’s Core Infrastructure team is well positioned to capitalise on its strong track record and reputation to deliver further growth.

About the role

The role is for an experienced Transaction Support Director to join the Core Infrastructure Team. The candidate will require skills in structuring private infrastructure investments, particularly in identifying and managing legal risk both on transactions and, more generally, across direct and secondary infrastructure funds through a balanced approach to risk minimisation and finding creative, commercial solutions. Experience within the structuring team of a private infrastructure manager is therefore highly desirable.

The role will cover a wide range of tasks across the infrastructure investment spectrum primarily supporting origination, acquisition, asset management and disposal activities of the Core Infrastructure team from a legal and structuring perspective. It will also extend to advising on e.g. fund mandate compliance, equity syndication, restructuring and general corporate governance matters.

The Transaction Support Director will Support the continued growth and development of the Core Infrastructure business, by:

Providing legal and structuring guidance and oversight on all aspects of infrastructure investments in the UK and Europe including due diligence, transaction structuring, negotiation, and documentation

Building and maintaining effective relationships with internal stakeholders, external legal counsel, investors and other relevant parties to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

Identifying legal and regulatory risks associated with our investments and operations. Develop and implement strategies to mitigate such risks effectively while maximizing opportunities for value creation

Managing the team’s legal workstreams and external legal service providers effectively and designing and implementing processes and systems to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of legal operations

Promoting legal, compliance and risk management best practice

Skills and Experience:

Senior corporate lawyer with a proven track record of providing strategic commercial legal advice to senior management, ideally within the infrastructure or private equity fund sector

Ability to think strategically, analyse complex legal issues and provide practical solutions

Experience dealing with corporate governance issues and general corporate secretarial duties

Excellent negotiation, communication and interpersonal skills

Strong team player but with the ability to work independently, prioritise tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously

Additional European languages may be advantageous.

Our Benefits
