I'm working with a leading UK law firm looking to recruit an Associate or Senior Associate into its Banking & Finance team, with the option of being based in either Bristol or Exeter.

The team acts for a mix of lenders, borrowers, investors and corporate clients across acquisition finance, real estate finance, refinancing and private equity-backed transactions. It is consistently recognised by the legal directories for its technical expertise and commercial approach.

This could suit a Banking & Finance lawyer looking for:

• A clear progression route
• A genuinely flexible approach to hybrid working

Open to lawyers with 3-7 years' PQE and previous Banking & Finance experience.
