Banking and Finance Lawyer
Birmingham
Anthony Collins Solicitors is a thriving specialist law firm with a national reputation for advising individuals, businesses, not for profit organisations, local authorities and public sector bodies throughout the UK. For over 40 years, we’ve been successfully combining market-leading legal expertise with a commitment to transforming communities and supporting individuals, underpinned by a strong set of values.
In this varied role you will be part of a supportive and well established high performing banking and finance team. You will advise mainly borrowers and occasionally lenders on their debt financing arrangements including accessing debt capital markets, secured funding, refinancing, banking contracts and acquisition finance.
This is a newly created role and your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the team in advising on and delivering a full range of banking and finance work to clients spanning the private, public and third sectors.
- Supporting clients with funding transactions by enabling them to understand their full range of funding options and delivering the most effective solution.
- Leading on the drafting and negotiation of loan facility agreements, the documentation for public bond issues, Note Purchase Agreements and associated legal documents.
- Working closely with clients, their Executive Teams and Boards on the implications of funding arrangements and discussing these face to face.
- Developing strong client relationships and an in depth understanding of your clients’ markets.
- Supporting the firm in raising our profile within our specialist areas of expertise.
To be successful in this role you will ideally have the following skills and personal qualities:
- A strong grounding in general banking and financial transactions.
- Experience of debt capital markets and/or property development finance. This is desirable but not essential.
- Experience of the firm’s specialists markets in the public and not-for-profit sectors would be advantageous alongside an enthusiasm for learning these markets.
- ·Strong technical skills and attention to detail balanced with a commercial and pragmatic outlook.
- The ability to build rapport with a diverse range of stakeholders and inspire their confidence.
- A level of comfort working unsupervised but equally at home as part of a project specific team.
- A strong level of self motivation alongside a passion for your work.
This is an excellent opportunity to work within a firm with a strong track record of developing its people and delivering the highest level of service to its client base.
