Banking Lawyers – Transaction Management Opportunities
Are you a Banking & Finance lawyer looking to move closer to the business and play a more commercial role in the execution of complex lending transactions?
I'm currently speaking with a number of leading financial institutions that are looking to hire into their Transaction Management teams over the coming weeks. These opportunities offer banking lawyers the chance to step away from purely legal advisory work and become embedded within the deal process, partnering directly with front-office teams on the execution of complex financing transactions.
Working closely with Relationship Managers, Debt Finance, Credit, and Legal teams, you'll take ownership of the documentation process from structuring through to completion, acting as a key point of contact for both internal stakeholders and external counsel.
Responsibilities
Depending on the organisation, responsibilities are likely to include:
