It is essential that you have substantial paralegal experience within a leveraged finance team from another major law firm – unfortunately you will not be considered if you don’t have leveraged finance experience. Although this is predominantly a paralegal role, they will also consider a contract lawyer / foreign qualified lawyer for the role providing you have done leveraged finance work. You must also have high attention to detail, the ability to prioritise work and manage time effectively to meet deadlines.
Fantastic opportunity for an experienced leveraged finance paralegal to gain top quality experience in a leading firm. Exceptional benefits and a salary circa £60,000 (they may pay more than this depending on experience).
