Ready to do more than your part of the deal?
For a City banking lawyer, the next move does not have to mean another large team, a narrower specialism or a longer list of matters where someone else owns the client relationship.
This confidential opportunity offers a different proposition: the chance to take a leading role in a developing banking practice, work closely with decision-makers and help shape what the practice becomes.
The firm already has a strong flow of work from established clients and its real estate and corporate teams. It now wants to build on that platform and is looking for an ambitious Senior Associate or first-step Partner to help set the direction.
The work
You can expect a varied mix of financing matters, including:
Borrower-side finance for family-owned care providers, often combining real estate and leveraged finance. Lender-side banking support for bridge and development finance lenders, working alongside the firm’s established real estate team. That is the current core, not a ceiling. The firm is keen to broaden its banking capability, and there is genuine scope to develop the practice around your experience, interests and appetite for growth.
The opportunity
You would have room to build relationships with clients across the firm, shape the work you pursue and develop your own profile. Partners are supportive of business development and give people the freedom to take ideas forward.
There is also a practical platform to build from: existing clients already generate banking opportunities, helping balance the freedom to grow the practice with a meaningful flow of work from the outset.
You will have the opportunity to help define how the practice develops, including the clients it serves, the work it takes on and the team it grows around it.
Who might this suit?
A senior banking lawyer who is ready for broader responsibility: someone who enjoys the technical work but wants greater visibility, influence over client relationships and a genuine hand in building a practice. The opportunity could suit a Senior Associate looking for a route towards partnership, or a first-step Partner seeking room to grow.
