Job Details
My law firm client is internationally recognised as having one of the premier offshore finance practices. It has the largest Asian Finance presence of any offshore law firm, and is looking to further expand its Finance team in Singapore.
The team covers an extremely diverse spectrum of British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands finance law related issues but has a particular need for a candidate with a strong background in some or all of leveraged and acquisition finance, asset finance, fund finance and structured lending.
The role offers an exciting opportunity to an ambitious and hardworking associate to join an established market-leading team with an excellent reputation. Excellent training, experience and career prospects in a truly meritocratic environment.
Candidate will have in the region of 4-7 years post qualification experience in general banking in a leading onshore or offshore firm. Exceptional candidates with more years of post-qualification experience will be considered also. Ideally you will be England and Wales and/or BVI admitted. Solid legal knowledge of financing and security documentation, structures and law, ideally obtained from training and deal experience at a leading international law firm and a willingness to participate in business development activities.
Experience of working in Singapore with a good network of existing contacts would be an advantage but this is not essential.
