What we will offer We will offer you a place where you can be yourself and where there are no limits on what you can achieve. With us, you can take ownership of your career and have honest conversations throughout. You would join an ambitious firm with a clear strategy for profitable growth where you can gain early responsibility and early involvement in growing the business. Here you can expect a competitive and fair reward as well as recognition based on all round performance. This forms part of our internal promise to you, The Deal, between the firm and its employees. YOU CAN EXPECT A competitive salary and a host of family friendly policies Life assurance, private health and dental care for you and your family A range of flexible benefits including gym discount and retail vouchers Tech, cycle and electric car schemes We support the causes you care about, by giving you one day per year off to volunteer with any charity that you are involved with outside of work. A wellbeing strategy that focuses on preventative measures to maintain overall health, and tools and support for when our people experience physical or mental difficulties. The strategy focuses on four pillars: physical, emotional, financial and social aspects. Most of our roles are hybrid, meaning that colleagues benefit from working in our office and remotely. We are happy to discuss this and other flexible working arrangements with you as part of the application and interview process. We are an equal opportunity organisation, committed to having a diverse workforce. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, culture, or any other protected characteristics. We aim to create a culture where everyone can be themselves and is valued for their strengths and unique perspectives Team Structure Finance practice group and the roleThe firm's finance team is highly regarded by clients for its excellence, broad experience and versatility. We work on demanding and innovative deals globally and act for many leading UK and international banks, investment companies, other corporates, lessors, funds and other stakeholders. The finance knowledge development lawyer will primarily support the finance fee-earners based in London. There are approximately 39 finance fee-earners in London (primarily concentrating on aviation finance, real estate finance, general banking, leveraged finance and restructuring). However, when English law issues arise or are relevant, occasional support will also be required for the dedicated finance teams that also operate in our offices in Dubai, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore. The finance group highly values and relies upon its knowledge resources and the knowledge development lawyer therefore fulfils a key role. The role is well-supported with assistance from a knowledge paralegal, a reporting line to the Finance Knowledge Partner (who originally came from a knowledge background and remains hands-on with knowledge initiatives) and interface with partner-led committees. We are looking for an innately curious "self-starter" who demonstrates legal technical excellence and is passionate about driving innovation and the ongoing improvement of resources and processes.
