The new hire will join the Corporate group, focusing their time on financial sponsor transactions in the UK, Europe and globally. We are looking for an individual with 2-4 years post-qualification experience, preferably in the London market or with experience in a similar common law jurisdiction (although those with less or more relevant experience will be considered on their merits).

The successful candidate will have solid financial sponsor experience, including some or all of drafting and negotiating locked box and completion accounts SPAs (although we appreciate that experience of the former may be stronger given market conditions in recent years), management incentive documents (including leaver terms) and shareholders' agreements, alongside NDAs, engagement letters, disclosure letters, diligence reports and other ancillary documents. We would expect the successful candidate to have some experience of the structuring of financial sponsor transactions and reviewing and commenting on funds flows. This role is well suited to a candidate who has gained broad experience of financial sponsor transactions and is looking to continue developing their experience in a fast-paced, high-performing environment, working closely with partners and counsel in the team, communicating directly with clients and taking a leading role in the drafting of sophisticated transaction documentation.

Excellent written communication and drafting skills are required, as well as the ability to demonstrate initiative. You must also possess the skills to take on a high degree of responsibility and manage a challenging workload within a fast-paced and friendly environment. A desire to get involved in marketing, knowhow and pro-bono initiatives is also required. A high level of academic achievement is essential.
