Legal Counsel (Corporate Banking)

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:

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

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:

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

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

Why Apply?

\n
• Join a leading financial institution.
\n
• Work on complex, high-value transactions.
\n
• Collaborate with an experienced and supportive legal team.
\n
• Enjoy genuine commercial involvement.
\n
