Overview
We are partnered with an international law firm with a strong London presence on the hire of a mid‑level Finance Associate into its transactional finance team.
This is a broad, generalist finance role rather than a narrow product specialism, offering exposure to a wide range of lending and financing matters. It would suit a lawyer looking to take on greater responsibility, develop strong client relationships and build a well‑rounded finance practice within an international environment.
The Role
You will join a collaborative finance team advising lenders and borrowers on UK and cross‑border transactions. The team structure allows for hands‑on involvement throughout the life cycle of deals, with meaningful responsibility, regular client interaction and close partner engagement.
The practice works across multiple sectors and financing types, giving senior associates breadth as well as technical depth.
