THE FIRM
One of largest law firms in the world, serving clients in every major financial centre.
The firm's European headquarters are in the heart of the key financial centre of London within walking distance of many of the major international financial institutions.
The English banking group is responsible for advising the firm and its clients on all aspects of English banking law around the world and is regularly engaged in assisting on transactions where clients are in the United States or Asia, as well as European transactions.
Cross-border financing transactions are a staple for the group and the group is regularly ranked in the top tier for banking and financing advice to Sponsors in Chambers UK.
Whilst the "sweet spot" of the group is acquisition and leveraged finance (especially cross-border), it is regularly engaged in all forms of debt financing and restructuring transactions and is especially renowned for its ability to devise innovative solutions to novel scenarios.
This ability to mix the new with the old is particularly useful where; as is often the case, a bespoke rather than standard solution is required by clients.
An ability to think outside the box, take ownership of transactions, be organised and to co-ordinate lawyers in multiple jurisdictions, as well as an unfailing team-spirited mentality are key to success in the group.
THE ROLE
The new hire will join the banking group in London where you will undertake a wide variety of work. Whilst working within a small and close-knit team, your individual input will be valued and you will have the chance to work on high quality transactions, advising both financial institutions and corporate clients.
You will be regularly exposed to clients from the start and are encouraged to market to those clients to build the firm's relationship.
There is no fixed development path: as the partners feel you are ready, you will be asked to tackle the next challenge.
Your development is as key to the group as it is to you.
ABOUT YOU
The firm is looking for an individual with 4pqe + to include leveraged finance.
The successful individual will, over time, be required to manage transactions from start to finish and assist with the development of junior members of the team.
You are expected to be forward facing and enjoy having direct contact with clients and be prepared to assist in training and pro bono activities.
Experience in managing client relationships and having the interpersonal skills to fit into a collegiate team are prerequisite.
You will have a strong career history to date, and currently work for a well-regarded law firm.
A first-class academic record is essential.
