Leveraged Finance Opportunity Counsel or Partner London

An elite US law firm is seeking an exceptional Leveraged Finance lawyer to join its highly successful and rapidly expanding London team.

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside market-leading finance partners in a practice that has established itself as a genuine force in the mid-market private capital space, acting on some of the most sophisticated and complex financing transactions across Europe.

The Practice

The team advises sponsors, borrowers, private credit funds and lenders on a broad range of debt financing matters, including:

  • Leveraged buyouts
  • Direct lending transactions
  • Cross-border syndicated financings
  • Acquisition financings
  • Refinancings and recapitalisations

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.
