• Advising across the full spectrum of sport, real estate, acquisition, green energy and receivables financing;

About You:

You will be a qualified solicitor with at least 3-years post-qualification experience in Banking & Finance.

This is a broad role and you will be exposed to a range of different transactions, before specialising around 6-7PQE.

You will be someone that is proactive, with a clear growth mindset and who relishes the idea of an environment without the hierarchy of 'Big Law' where you can progress based on your ambition and intuition, rather than it necessarily being determined by your PQE level.
