Job Description

Banking & Finance, Senior Associate to Legal Director, 5+ PQE , National firm £75,000 to £95,000, Manchesternn Banking has been this firm's strongest-performing team, and it has just won a run of new panel clients. The practice is at capacity across offices, which is what has opened the door.nnn The role is a general banking one at its core: acting for lenders and borrowers on bilateral and syndicated facilities, term loans and revolving credit, drafting and negotiating facility agreements and security packages, and handling refinancings and amendments. Alongside that sits leveraged and acquisition finance, and asset-based lending -facilities secured against receivables, stock and plant. The client base is principally banks and lenders, with a wider range of clients beyond.nnn The team operates as a single national practice rather than a set of regional silos, with genuine cross-border work and collaboration across offices treated as a priority.nnn Partners of magic circle pedigree lead the team and are invested in developing the lawyers they hire.nnn Progression is the real draw: a clear, backed route to promotion, and a joiner arriving while the team is growing rather than settled can carve out a defined role early.nnn This suits a banking lawyer of around 5+ PQE who wants a national platform and a visible path upward.nnn Apply online or contact Chris Barr at QED Legal to find out more about this or similar opportunities.
