Senior Associate – Leveraged Finance | London

I’m working with a leading international law firm in London that is looking to add a Senior Associate to its Leveraged Finance team.

The practice has seen significant recent investment and growth, and this is an opportunity to join a well-established finance platform at an exciting point in its development.

The team advises on sophisticated UK and cross-border leveraged finance transactions, working across the sponsor, lender and private capital markets.

They are keen to speak with experienced leveraged finance lawyers who are operating at Senior Associate level, or approaching that level, and who have strong experience in leveraged and/or acquisition finance.

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.
