Banking & Finance Associate / Senior Associate

Banking and Finance Associate / Senior Associate | 1+ Years PQE | Top 50 International Firm | Birmingham

A rare opportunity to join a highly respected Top 50 international law firm in central Birmingham, known for its strong sector focus, high quality work and genuinely balanced culture.

The Firm

Founded in London over 300 years ago, this firm has grown into a well established international practice with offices across the UK, the Middle East and Asia. Widely recognised for its market leading work across real estate, disputes, education, energy, healthcare, leisure, finance and large scale projects, with core practices consistently ranked in the Legal 500 and many partners recognised as Hall of Fame and Next Generation lawyers.

Culturally the firm offers the quality and complexity of a City practice combined with a more collaborative and flexible working environment, making it a genuinely attractive alternative for lawyers seeking international calibre work without the intensity of traditional City targets.

The Role

You will join a Legal 500 ranked Banking and Finance team working closely with a highly regarded and well established partner in the Birmingham market. The team advises on a broad range of banking and finance matters including corporate lending, real estate finance, syndicated and bilateral facilities, hedging arrangements and wider structured finance work.

Given the firm's strong real estate client base, the Birmingham team has a particular focus on real estate related finance transactions, though prior experience in this area is beneficial rather than essential.

The team is at an exciting stage of growth, creating clear progression opportunities for lawyers who may feel limited by top heavy team structures elsewhere. You will benefit from excellent mentorship and support from a respected partner who is deeply embedded in the local market, alongside exposure to complex and high value transactions from an early stage.
