Banking Lawyers – Transaction Management Opportunities



Want to make an application Make sure your CV is up to date, then read the following job specs carefully before applying.

AAre you a Banking & Finance lawyer looking to move closer to the business and play a more commercial role in the execution of complex lending transactions?


I’m currently working with a global financial institution that is looking to hire into its Transaction Management team on a circa 6-month contract.


This is a great opportunity for a banking lawyer to step away from purely legal advisory work and become embedded within the deal process, working directly with front-office teams to drive the execution of complex financing transactions.


Key responsibilities are likely to include:

  • Leading the documentation process across bilateral and syndicated lending transactions.
  • Negotiating and agreeing term sheets, facility agreements, intercreditor agreements and other finance documentation.
  • Advising on transaction structuring and identifying legal and commercial risks.
  • Acting as the primary point of contact for external legal counsel throughout the transaction lifecycle.
  • Partnering with internal stakeholders to drive transactions through to successful execution.
  • Managing multiple transactions simultaneously while balancing legal, commercial and regulatory considerations.


Who we’re looking for

We’re keen to speak with lawyers who have:

  • A strong Banking & Finance background, with experience advising on corporate lending transactions.
  • Experience working on bilateral and/or syndicated lending transactions.
  • A good understanding of LMA documentation and the UK corporate lending market.
  • Strong commercial judgement and the confidence to work directly with business stakeholders.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to manage multiple workstreams.


This is a great opportunity for a Banking & Finance lawyer looking to gain valuable in-house, commercial and transaction management experience within a leading global financial institution. xwzovoh
