PRIVATE CAPITAL FINANCE LAWYER – LONDON – 2–5 PQE

PRIVATE CAPITAL FINANCE – LONDON – 2–5 PQE

Leveraged Finance | Fund Finance | Real Estate Finance | Private Credit

I’m currently working on a rare opportunity within one of the market’s standout finance platforms for an ambitious Associate / Senior Associate (2–5 PQE) looking to step into a genuinely sophisticated international practice.

This is a team that advises at the top end of the market across:

✔ Sponsor-led leveraged finance

✔ Acquisition / holdco / second lien / structured financings

✔ Fund-level finance (subscription / NAV / management lines)

✔ Private credit and alternative lender transactions

✔ Complex real estate finance / investment-backed structures

✔ Cross-border financings involving major sponsors, institutions and asset managers

The platform offers:

• Lean teams with meaningful responsibility earlier

• Genuine partner exposure

• Opportunity to run transactions and lead workstreams

• Broad financing exposure across private capital, sponsor and real assets work

• High-calibre, international work with genuine investment in associate development

The team hires carefully rather than frequently, so opportunities like this are uncommon.

Ideal background:

• 2–5 PQE

• Training / experience gained at a leading international, Magic Circle or top US platform preferred

• Experience across leveraged finance, private credit, fund finance and/or real estate finance

• Strong drafting / negotiation skills

• Comfortable taking ownership of matters and working directly with sophisticated clients

• Commercial, driven and collaborative

For the right lawyer, this has the makings of a genuinely career-defining move.
