More widely, we advise a broad range of funders and borrowers on a variety of financing transactions. We act for all the UK clearing banks, a number of other European and investment banks, independent financiers and investment funds on all types of facilities from acquisition finance, leveraged finance and real estate finance to asset-based lending, securitisation and debt capital markets. We also act for many borrowers, from listed companies to small enterprises, on their financings. Our practice is broad and very varied.

We have a high-quality legal service finance team with access to deep knowledge of current market practice. We deliver a truly partner-led service and strongly believe in being fully joined up across our network of offices. Our talented team of lawyers has insight and appreciation of the needs and pressures of clients in the financial services sector. We are renowned for the quality and speed of delivery of our advice, our innovative thinking, and our grasp of commercial issues.

Independent commentators on the legal profession rate our group's abilities across the range of specialist banking areas in which we advise and describe us as "impressive and prized by the high-profile banking clients" for whom we act.

The candidate required

• must have experience in trade and export finance in a leading City firm
• will be technically excellent but, equally important, commercially aware and enthusiastic about business and practice development
• will be a team player with a strong client-focused approach, commitment to the product area, and excellent communication and organisational skills

What will we offer you?

• the very best national and international work
• unrivalled exposure to a range of exciting and challenging finance work
• early responsibility and opportunities to develop client relationships
• genuine long-term career prospects supported through our "best in class" training and our Academy personal development programmes
