Finance Lawyer in London

Our client is a well-known and successful global investment and development organisation that has an impressive track-record and unwavering profitability over several decades. Now, a role for a mid-level lawyer with significant leveraged finance/private credit experience has arisen in this business that provides principal financing and engages in secondary market investing across the capital structure.

The successful candidate will form part of a high-calibre, global team of lawyers who sit directly alongside a dynamic front office. Despite this being a legal position, you will be an integral part of the deal team and not be separate from them.

More specifically you will:

• Advise on complex deal structuring across a portfolio of international clients, taking full responsibility for drafting, and negotiating legal documentation across leveraged finance, real estate and M&A transactions;
• Manage the life cycle of a transaction from embryonic/strategic stages through to execution;
• Support the management of a robust loan, equity, and real estate portfolio.

We are looking for lawyers from the top-tier US and UK law firms, or those who may be considering a move from a relevant in-house team who are driven by a desire to affect positive change in a business, rather than solely seeking rank or title.

You must be a lawyer who can be comfortable sitting directly with a business team and respond to queries with an ‘open door policy’ and be naturally able to disseminate complex legal matters through a commercial lens for a non-legal audience.

Aside from a leveraged finance and private credit background, in-house experience in a credit/distressed debt fund would be relevant, as would accompanying experience in matters like restructuring or real estate.

The most attractive facet of this opportunity is the expertise of the legal and business team you will be surrounded by both in London and overseas, who are collegiate and supportive. That being said, you will have the freedom to work autonomously - with significant responsibility over on your own portfolio of clients with a reporting line directly to the Global General Counsel for this business.
