Your new company
This firm is a very well established, reputable firm who are going through an exciting growth period. With over 250 years experience, the business is made up of expert lawyers who have a brilliant reputation for providing an excellent service. They are now looking for someone to join at this exciting time and be a part of the growth plans and the success of the firm - they have handled some extremely high profile cases as of recent and are constantly proving their talent.

Your new role
Sitting within the Corporate and Commercial Department, the successful candidate will be 1 - 3 years' PQE (there is flexibility around this), who will provide support in finance for property acquisition and development, and acquisition finance for acquisitions of businesses and companies. Also dealing with syndication of loans, bridging, mezzanine and stretched senior facilities, security and facility reviews. The team also has a niche expertise in Sharia'ah-compliant transactions, if this happens to be something you are familiar with it will be an advantage to your application, but by no means a necessity.

There will be a focus on property finance within this role, whilst you will also be in wider finance related work covering work with investment funds, private equity investments, syndicated lending, (U)HNWs, asset-based lending and acquisition finance. You will also support work on corporate transactions for a range of the firm's corporate, fund and (U)HNW clients.

What you'll need to succeed
You will need to be a (at least 1 year) UK or AUS/NZ Qualified Lawyer. You will also have a natural "hands all in" approach, this business prides themselves on being extremely collegiate and giving their employees extensive exposure to start to finish work, almost imminently. The working environment is friendly, and they have various social events to bring everyone together further and feel like a real team. You must have experience in:

  • Drafting, negotiating, reviewing and reporting on a range of loan facilities (including term and revolving credit), security documentation for secured lending transactions, inter-creditor deeds, the mechanisms for mezzanine, stretched and other types of lending;
  • and advancing and closing matters, handling day-to-day matters and keeping clients informed of progress (in both cases with no or minimum supervision);
  • LMA documentation
  • Understanding of agency agreements, reviewing and drafting legal opinions and liaising with overseas counsel;
  • Ability to develop business alongside members of the firm or on own initiative.



What you'll get in return
This is a great platform to join a firm who knows the market exceptionally well and provides a very high quality of work. There will be ample progression opportunities for you, this firm encourages people to strive to be the best and grow through the business, in many instances up to Partner level. Due to this their retention is impressive, partly due to the fact that alongside the work they offer a unique working environment whereby everyone helps each other out and gets fully invested and full exposure to the firm.
