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.

BCL Legal is an equal opportunities employer.
