Our client, one of the largest banks in Asia, that provides corporate and investment banking services to an international client base, is now looking for a Banking Lawyer to join their established and highly regarded Corporate Banking London Legal team.

The work in this team is broad in scope, so ideally, we are looking for ‘finance generalists’ who will likely have amassed general transactional banking experience, and excellent knowledge of the LMA suite of documentation.

Experience in asset finance (encompassing aviation/shipping finance) would be welcome as this is an area of expertise the team lacks, but to be clear, this is NOT an asset finance role – it is a broad banking legal role.

We will consider lawyers with 3 years’ experience upwards coming from a law firm or in-house team.

This lawyer will be the main point of contact for two main front office departments, and lead on coverage meetings.

More specifically, the successful candidate will:

• Review, draft and negotiate new and existing banking and finance documentation (including syndicated and bilateral loan documentation, and facility agreements);
• Draft and negotiate ancillary contracts associated with the business’ deal flow;
• Field queries from the finance business teams and work with senior management to advise them on best commercial procedures;
• Assist with firm-wide projects, such as AI integration, as and when required.

This bank is going through a significant period of change and growth so it is an excellent time to join them. In return, our client offers a competitive compensation package, a healthy work/life balance, generous and flexible hybrid working arrangement on a weekly basis and the opportunity to join a collaborative, supportive and cohesive legal team.

Due to a high volume of applications, we will only respond to those we deem suitable for the role.
