Job Details

Are you looking for an opportunity to work with a market leading practice that has grown significantly in recent years? You will work alongside industry leading Partners in a highly ranked Legal 500 team.

The Firm

Ranked in the Top 100, this firm has a culture which stands them apart from the usual commercial machine of the City. They do things differently, despite them employing over 1000 lawyers globally people do not feel like a small cog in a big machine, they have a culture of investing heavily in staff, so people feel recognised for the work, talent, and contribution that they make.

They are a modern practice with a non-hierarchical management style. They are dynamic, creative, entrepreneurial, and progressive and have won numerous awards for their diversity and working culture. Over recent years the practice has significantly grown due to increased workload and the hire of many new heavy hitting lawyers.

The firm now has over 15 offices across the US, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Due to a recent increase in workflow, a vacancy has arisen for a new Real Estate Associate to join their thriving Birmingham office.

The Role

  • Acting for banks, borrowers and private equity houses on banking matters, both mid market and investment grade, syndicated and bilateral.
  • Working closely with specialist sector teams.

  • Drafting and negotiating property development and investment facility and security documentation.
  • Advising on cross-border transactions including managing overseas legal counsel and negotiating legal opinions.
  • Advising on ISDA and other hedging and credit support documentation.
  • Drafting and negotiating documents and advising in connections with structuring matters.
  • Advising on general banking matters and working closely with other parts of the firm, such as corporate, real estate, pensions and construction.



The Responsibilities

  • It is essential that you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills as you will be a key ambassador for the firm.
  • You will have a clear understanding of the commercial issues involved in finance transactions, experience of running high value transactions with minimal partner supervision and negotiating key documents on behalf of clients.
  • You will be a self-motivated, proactive, and collaborative individual that strives to deliver solutions to the highest quality and exhibits an exceptional attention to detail.
  • Your actions should inspire confidence in clients, partners and peers alike.
