Konexo is an established alternative legal services division of Eversheds Sutherland, created to meet client demand for high quality, interim legal, HR and compliance professionals.

• Confidence in drafting, reviewing and negotiating LMA Facility Agreements in addition to security/ancillary finance documents in relation to real estate finance transactions.
• Experience of supervising more junior lawyers and managing/leading on real estate finance transactions.

• Available to do 2-3 days per week office attendance in any of the following locations (candidate choice): London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham or Cardiff.
