There may also be opportunities to work on other asset financing transactions in the general finance, structured finance, and capital markets sectors.

Key responsibilities include:

• Assisting with the execution of a variety of investments aligned with the company's investment philosophy.
• Providing high-quality, commercially focused legal advice to the asset origination team, including early analysis, structuring of financing proposals, reviewing and negotiating term sheets and transaction documents.
