About the Firm
This is an opportunity to join a major US law firm that is firmly established as one of the global elite. The firm’s platform spans the US, UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, enabling seamless execution of cross-border mandates for some of the most sophisticated investors, sponsors and corporate groups worldwide.

The group’s work spans all key stages of the investment lifecycle including acquisitions, disposals, structured joint ventures, portfolio transactions, landlord and tenant work, development projects and financing matters.
