Banking & Finance Practice Opportunity

The team advises banks, financial institutions, alternative lenders, investors, and corporate borrowers on a broad range of domestic and cross-border financing transactions.

Role Overview

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Associate or Senior Associate to join the Banking & Finance practice of a global law firm in its London office.

The successful candidate will work across a varied mix of leveraged and acquisition finance, corporate lending, real estate finance, and other structured financing matters, with exposure to both lender and borrower-side mandates.

At this level, the role will involve taking significant responsibility for transactions, drafting and negotiating principal finance documents, coordinating deal processes, and working directly with clients. There will also be opportunities to supervise more junior lawyers and play an active role in the continued development of key client relationships.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
