Banking & Finance Associate | 3-6 PQE | Birmingham or London
INTERIM OPPORTUNITY
I’m working with a highly regarded Banking & Finance team within a well-established international firm, looking to add a 3-6 PQE Associate to their Birmingham or London office.
This is a genuinely broad mid‑market finance role. The team advises on UK and cross-border transactions across sectors including energy, infrastructure, financial services, tech, healthcare and private equity. You’ll get exposure to acquisition finance, corporate lending, asset and receivables finance, project finance, and hedging/derivatives work.
The team acts for banks, borrowers and PE houses on both bilateral and syndicated matters (mid‑market and investment grade). The role will involve:
- Drafting and negotiating senior and mezzanine facilities
- Security and intercreditor arrangements
- Leveraged acquisition finance transactions
- Corporate lending (lender and borrower side)
- Asset‑backed / receivables finance
- Project finance documentation
- Cross‑border transactions (including managing overseas counsel)
- ISDA and hedging documentation
- Working closely with corporate, real estate, pensions and construction teams
You’ll be joining a partner‑led, close‑knit team known for delivering high‑quality work without the hierarchy you might find elsewhere. There’s strong early client exposure and the opportunity to take real ownership of transactions.
About you
- 3‑6 PQE Banking & Finance lawyer
- Strong technical grounding across general banking work
- Comfortable running high‑value transactions with limited supervision
- Commercial, confident with clients and proactive in approach
- Interested in business development and building relationships
This is a firm that genuinely invests in its people – strong training infrastructure, excellent support, and a collaborative culture. Hybrid working is embedded, and flexibility is taken seriously.
If you’d like to have a confidential chat about the team, the work, or how this compares to the wider market, feel free to get in touch.
