Job description

A prestigious US law firm is seeking an England & Wales qualified lawyer with at least 7 years' PQE in bank lending to join its elite team in London. This is an outstanding opportunity to work on high-profile syndicated leveraged finance transactions, taking a leading role in complex cross-border matters.

The successful candidate will have experience from a Magic Circle, Silver Circle, or premier US firm and possess a top-class academic pedigree. You will be expected to manage transactions from inception to completion, demonstrating expertise in acquisition finance, commitment processes, and inter-creditor arrangements. The role requires a commercially astute lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This position offers early responsibility and direct client exposure, providing the opportunity to shape your career within a firm at the forefront of global finance. The firm offers a highly competitive US law firm salary and bonus package, reflecting their commitment to attracting the best talent.
