VNI Legal are once again delighted to be working with a leading international law firm who are looking to bring in an experienced banking and finance solicitor to join their team in Scotland. You have the option of hybrid working and can be based in either the Glasgow or Edinburgh office. This is a really interesting opportunity where you will have the experience to be involved in a broad range of finance transactions, particularly corporate lending, and real estate finance.
The Role
To carry out a broad range of finance work, including corporate lending and real estate finance, as part of an ambitious, motivated team. They act for a wide range of lenders - including banks, insurers, and debt funds and borrowers – including some of the largest and most successful corporates in Scotland and beyond.
The team members are based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as London, and you will be working with team members across those three offices. Many of the transactions they work on are cross-border in nature and so you will also have the opportunity to work with their extensive global network of offices.
They are focused on supporting and developing members of the team, providing you with the opportunity to stretch yourself while ensuring you have readily accessible tools in the form of precedents and know-how resources. In addition, you will be encouraged and empowered to get involved in marketing and business development initiatives. To support you in this role, you will have the benefit of their award-winning learning and development programs.
