Real Estate Finance Associate | 3+ Years PQE | Legal 500 & Chambers Ranked | Manchester
A strong opportunity for a Real Estate Finance lawyer to join a highly specialised and well-regarded practice, working on complex borrower and lender transactions at a firm that consistently attracts lawyers from Top 30 international practices for all the right reasons.
The Firm
A Top 200 firm that has built a reputation strong enough to attract lawyers from Top 30 international practices, drawn by better work-life balance, a quality of work that matches or exceeds what they were doing before and a culture that actually lives up to what it promises.
Most partners have been with the firm for over ten years, staff retention is excellent across the board and the environment is collegiate, the leadership is accessible and the firm invests in its lawyers for the long term rather than extracting what it can in the short term.
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.
The Role
You will join a tight-knit, highly specialised Real Estate Finance team led by a partner with nearly 25 years in the market, taking on a varied and high quality caseload of real estate finance transactions whilst managing your own matters with increasing autonomy as you develop.
The team acts for both borrowers and lenders across mainstream banks, challenger banks, building societies, specialist and bridging lenders and insolvency office holders, sitting on some excellent panels and handling a breadth of financing structures that is a genuine differentiator in the market.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will draft and negotiate facility agreements, security packages and associated documentation, spanning mainstream secured lending through to more specialist, short-term and restructuring led mandates. For an Associate looking for a step up in the quality and variety of their work without sacrificing work-life balance, this is an outstanding platform.
