Salary: Competitive

Addleshaw Goddard is a Top 15 law firm with over 180 partners and 1200 employees but we’re more than simply one of the UK’s most successful law firms. We have a great client portfolio, a clear growth strategy and culture that is open, honest and determined to succeed. Everyone in our firm has the opportunity to develop professionally, be recognised for their commitment and rewarded for their contribution.
We are creating an `identifiably different` brand in the UK legal market. Wherever you are in our dynamic business, in whatever team, you’re encouraged to let your own style and personality shine through.

Following a continuing increase in client instructions we are looking to further expand our Leveraged Finance team in London.


The Role

• This team acts for major funders, corporate borrowers and private equity sponsors in relation to UK and cross-border syndicated lending and leveraged finance transactions.
