Legal Counsel – Corporate Banking

London | Hybrid Working

A leading UK financial institution is looking to appoint a Legal Counsel to join its Corporate Banking & Structured Lending legal team.

Supporting a broad range of complex financing transactions, you'll work alongside senior stakeholders to provide commercially focused legal advice on high-value lending matters. This is an excellent opportunity for a Banking & Finance lawyer looking to build an in-house career without sacrificing the quality or complexity of the work.

The Role

You'll advise on a broad range of Corporate Banking and Structured Lending matters, including:

• Complex lending and finance transactions.
• Reviewing and negotiating LMA documentation.
• Advising senior stakeholders on legal and regulatory issues.
• Working closely with external legal advisers on major transactions.
• Managing legal risk while supporting commercial objectives.

About You

You'll be an England & Wales qualified solicitor with Banking & Finance experience gained either in private practice or in-house.

You'll also have:

• Experience advising on lending transactions.
• Strong knowledge of LMA documentation.
• Excellent commercial awareness.
• The ability to build strong stakeholder relationships.
• A practical, solutions-focused approach.

Experience of structured finance, infrastructure or project finance would be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why Apply?

• Join a leading financial institution.
• Work on complex, high-value transactions.
• Collaborate with an experienced and supportive legal team.
• Enjoy genuine commercial involvement.
• Hybrid working and excellent long-term career prospects.
