International Law Firm - Banking Associate - United Arab Emirates

• 4 - 6 years' PQE
• General Banking – Islamic Finance
• Regional experience not required

Our client is a leading international law firm with a long and successful presence in the region. Providing advice and support to well-known and highly-regarded organizations across the MENA region, our client has built a reputation that is second to none. As a result of continued success the small, but successful banking team of this high profile international law firm seeks to add to their number with an experienced banking lawyer. 

The successful candidate will work on a range of corporate banking transactions acting for both lenders and borrowers. There will be exposure to Islamic Finance and over time an opportunity to further specialize in this field. In addition to a good diet of transactional work, this individual will be encouraged to take an active role in business development and the mentoring of junior staff.

Interested parties will have a strong academic background with corporate banking experience gained from a well regarded law firm.  Whilst preference may be given to Middle East experience, those applying from outside of the region will be well received.
