This is an excellent opportunity for a transactional finance lawyer to join a friendly, collaborative and highly regarded legal team. The role will suit someone who enjoys working on complex finance matters, is confident navigating detailed documentation, and is comfortable taking ownership of work with a good level of autonomy.
The successful candidate will work across a varied mix of finance-related legal matters, with a focus on transactional work. You will be supported by a collegiate team and will work closely with internal stakeholders and external counsel.
The role
The work is expected to include a broad range of finance and transactional matters, including:
Banking transactions
Asset finance
Project finance
LMA-style finance documentation
Transactional amendments and related advisory work
Finance products and associated legal issues
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Broader commercial and regulatory support where required
External counsel may be involved on certain matters, but this role requires someone who can understand the documentation, review legal positions, manage input from advisers and help move matters forward effectively.
The ideal candidate
We are keen to speak with qualified lawyers who have strong transactional finance experience, good knowledge of LMA documentation and are comfortable working with detailed finance documentation.
Relevant backgrounds may include:
Project finance
Asset finance
Banking
Trade and export finance
Corporate lending or syndicated lending
LMA-based finance transactions
The role is likely to suit someone with solid post-qualification experience, although candidates will be considered where they have the right technical background.
What we are looking for
The successful candidate should be:
A qualified lawyer with strong finance transaction experience
Comfortable reviewing and working with lengthy finance documents
Able to manage multiple matters at once
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Confident working with senior stakeholders and external counsel
Commercial, pragmatic and solutions-focused
Able to work independently with minimal supervision
Friendly, collaborative and willing to get involved as part of a wider team
Working arrangements
This is a 12-month fixed term contract based in London, with hybrid working. The organisation offers a positive, open and sociable culture, with a strong emphasis on mutual respect, collaboration and team engagement.
Candidates will need the right to work in the UK. The role will also be subject to appropriate pre-employment and clearance checks.
Why apply?
This is a strong opportunity for a finance lawyer looking for high-quality transactional work in a supportive and balanced environment.
It may be particularly attractive to lawyers who want to move into a broader in-house style role while continuing to work on sophisticated finance matters, complex documentation and strategically important transactions.
