Banking & Finance Associate (2–5 PQE) | Chelmsford, Essex | Permanent

Salary: Competitive + discretionary performance bonus

A leading East Anglian law firm is looking for a commercially minded Banking & Finance Associate to join its well-regarded and growing team in Chelmsford.

You’ll work closely with partners and senior lawyers on transactions across the region and beyond.

The role

You’ll advise lenders, borrowers and investors on a broad mix of financing work, including:

• Bilateral and syndicated lending, acquisition finance and leveraged finance
• Real estate finance, development finance and investment funding
• Asset-based lending, receivables finance, private credit and alternative lender deals
• Refinancings, restructurings, security reviews and enforcement, plus general banking advisory work
• Building client relationships and supporting business development across the region

The firm’s clients include high street and challenger banks, private credit providers, corporate borrowers, investors, developers and owner‑managed businesses.

The work is local, national and international.

The firm is a Loan Market Association member, so you’ll work regularly with LMA documentation, and its membership of an international alliance of independent firms gives the team cross‑border reach.
