The successful individual will become part of a dynamic, busy, and tight-knit team working on a range of mid-market, high quality work encompassing transactional, advisory, and contentious restructuring matters. The focus of the workload will be on transactional restructuring matters and can accommodate individuals who do not have contentious exposure.

• Upwards of 2 years' experience in advising on restructuring matters;
• Recent experience gained within firms focusing on mid-market restructuring work;
• Experience in advising on distressed transactions and advisory situations across the restructuring and formal insolvency process spectrum;
• A confidence and competence in working for insolvency and turnaround practitioners, debtors and creditors in distressed scenarios;
• Exceptional technical legal knowledge;
• Strong interpersonal skills;
• Familiarity with and willingness to get involved in banking and debt finance matters handled within the wider team would be a real advantage, but is not a prerequisite.

Working pattern
