In the position, you will take sole responsibility for the smooth end-to-end management of the execution of bilateral loans and participation.

• Anticipate potential documentation issues specific to a borrower or resulting from external macroeconomic or political factors.
• Advise on credit issues in loan capital markets.
• Contribute to the development of knowledge in the wider firm by creating template documentation, guidance notes, and designing and delivering training.
• Keep abreast of external regulations and other market factors that impact loan documentation.

• Legal degree or similar qualification.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience in a similar role.
• Familiar with LMA investment grade and developing market-recommended forms of documentation.
• Confident in the negotiation of all key commercial provisions of syndicated loan documentation to minimise documentation risk and improve documentation standards.
• Detailed understanding of LMA templates and basic supporting loan documentation gained either in a financial institution or law firm.
• Excellent negotiation and written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent current knowledge of the European loan market including relevant legal and regulatory matters.
• Ability to manage a heavy workload.
