Interim Leveraged Finance Lawyer – (FTC 6–9 months)

Interim Leveraged Finance Lawyer – (FTC 6–9 months)

A top‑tier international law firm is seeking a UK‑qualified Interim Leveraged Finance Lawyer to join its London-based finance practice on a fixed‑term contract of 6–9 months, with potential scope for extension.

Team & Alignment

The interim lawyer will be aligned with a core group of senior leveraged finance partners in London and work closely with associates across the wider banking and finance team. The role is fully integrated into the practice and focused on supporting active deal flow, rather than covering for a single individual on leave.

Rationale for Hire

This requirement has arisen due to increased transactional demand and internal resourcing movements, including:

• The recent arrival of a senior leveraged finance partner
• Planned secondments and periods of leave within the team
• Several permanent hires scheduled to join later in the summer

The firm is therefore keen to appoint additional interim resource to help manage workflow during this period.

Candidate Profile

• England & Wales qualified (or equivalent common law qualification with strong UK deal experience)
• Solid leveraged finance experience from a leading UK or international firm
• Familiar with sponsor‑led transactions and lender‑side work
• Able to hit the ground running with minimal supervision

Contract Details

• Type: Fixed‑term contract
• Duration: 6–9 months
• Start: As soon as possible
