The organisation offers fully remote working and this is very much a 9-6 role.

The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years' PQE and will come from a US or Magic Circle firm. This role will appeal to lawyers who have experience in both the leveraged finance/loans and high yield bonds space.

• Opportunity for career growth and development within an agile, ever-evolving global company

• Intellectually stimulating work in a collaborative and diverse environment

• Enjoy work life balance, and a fully flexible working model in which you decide when you want to work in the office and when you want to work remotely

• Regular interaction with asset managers, hedge funds, law firms, investment banks and others in the leveraged finance world

The main requirements for the role are:

• 5+ years of experience working in debt finance at a top tier law firm, ideally with a focus on leveraged buyouts, acquisition financings, refinancings and recapitalizations

• Applying a keen commercial awareness can analyse documents to provide actionable insights

• Experience of drafting, reviewing and negotiating term sheets, syndicated facilities agreements, intercreditor agreements and ancillary documents

• The ability to multitask and work both independently and as a team player in a fast-paced environment with people from varied professional backgrounds
