Altern8 Legal is looking to speak with experienced leveraged finance lawyers about a potential senior interim engagement with a major international law firm in London.
The firm is looking for somebody to provide additional capacity within its finance team for an initial 6 months or more.
The opportunity
We are particularly interested in lawyers around the 5-8 PQE level, with significant experience across leveraged and acquisition finance and other complex debt transactions, ideally gained within a leading UK, US, or international law firm.
The work is expected to involve a mixture of sophisticated domestic and cross-border financing matters, potentially including acquisition finance, refinancings, restructurings, and private equity-backed transactions.
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.
You should be comfortable working directly with senior lawyers and clients, operating autonomously, and remaining hands-on with transaction execution.
The engagement
- Duration: Initially 6 months+, with potential to extend
- Commitment: Ideally 4-5 days per week
- Location: London, hybrid with approximately 2-3 days per week in the office likely

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We believe the best legal consultants bring more than technical expertise. They combine strong judgement and commercial understanding with the adaptability and ownership needed to integrate quickly and make an immediate impact.
Our lawyers choose consulting for different reasons - greater autonomy, varied and challenging work, or simply a different way of building a senior legal career.
If you have a strong leveraged finance background and would be interested in hearing more as this opportunity develops, we would be very happy to have an initial confidential conversation.
