- Supporting senior counsel and partners across a range of client matters;

- 3-7PQE with excellent academics and a minimum of a 2:1 from a leading institution;
- Relevant cross-border banking and finance experience from a leading international law firm;
- Experience of taking a leading role on transactions (preferable);
