About this Opportunity
DPL supports both the product and coverage areas of Business & Commercial Banking (BCB) and Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB). In addition, DPL provides support to the Risk Division's Business Support Unit and Recoveries teams. Within DPL, we work in an agile way across our team and the business units and stakeholders which we support, across CIB, BCB and Restructuring.
DPL is looking for a Senior Lawyer on a permanent basis to support principally the complex lending proposition and the CIB business, particularly the Debt Solutions Group, which includes Infrastructure and Project Finance, Funds Finance, Leveraged Finance (mid and large cap) and Investment Grade lending. We operate as an agile team and there will be opportunities to engage in and influence across the wider range of activities the team supports.
This is an innovative and constantly evolving area within the Legal & Secretariat community. We love to do things differently in DPL and are ready to welcome the curious and agile to work at the heart of embedding legal risk management and delivery of BCB and CIB's lending ambitions. Help the legal leadership team manage legal risk and develop initiatives for an agile and insightful legal team.
Specifically, this role will involve:
* providing complex lending expertise, drawing on in depth knowledge of complex syndicated and leveraged finance lending and advising on both transactions and strategic matters.
* coaching colleagues in applying legal advice in day-to-day activities to deliver effective legal risk management on both transactions and strategic matters
* establishing legal insights that improve DPL effectiveness and underpin delivery of transactions.
We will encourage you to do what is right and empower you to make the right decision. We will invest in career development plans and opportunities for you to grow and learn.
Behind the scenes, the role has variety!
Providing insightful, high-quality advice and guidance across CIB transactional and strategic matters and building effective team working with wider BCB & CIB Legal teams by leading and supporting on such strategic or thematic developments across BCB, CIB and Restructuring. Enabling effective legal risk management and governance of the wider legal risk profile.
Our lawyers operate on an agile basis and are keen to upskill and willing to support legal, regulatory or other projects across DPL (including across CIB, BCB and Restructuring) as well as wider Legal & Secretariat teams, products and businesses as appropriate.
Developing knowledge of trends within the legal market, with a specific focus on complex lending, exploring tech solutions, evolving legal services, and being able to translate this into usable insight.
