We have an exciting opportunity for a lawyer to join the Debt Products Legal (DPL) team to help support our CIB lending business, principally working in the syndicated debt space. DPL plays a critical role in supporting the CIB lending proposition of today, whilst preparing us for the advances in the future. DPL serves as a centre of excellence and business partner, bringing a diverse mix of people, skills and expertise to the Group in managing the legal risks arising from our lending products, generating insight and value.

You’ll need to:

  • Operate as a specialist legal adviser in respect of large corporate lending, particularly syndicated lending;
  • Build trust and internal networks and relationships to provide appropriate professional advice to achieve the Group’s objectives;
  • Challenge and influence our partners, and deputise for senior colleagues where appropriate;
  • Collaborate with the other key legal areas within Legal & Secretariat, both to support our business and to positively influence our community as a great place to work; and
  • Be agile and keen to upskill and willing to support legal, regulatory or other projects across BCCIB Legal as well as wider  Legal & Secretariat teams, products and businesses as appropriate.

Essentials:

  • A current practising certificate in a relevant jurisdiction;
  • Experience and a good understanding of the legal and regulatory framework and market practices applying to commercial lending, particularly in the syndicated lending space; and
  • Post-qualifying legal experience in the above areas of expertise.

Desirables:

It would be useful to also have:

  • Experience and knowledge of one or more of: (i) infrastructure and project finance; (ii) financial sponsors lending; and (iii) real estate finance; and
  • A working understanding of the delivery model for commercial lending.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
  • An annual performance-related bonus
  • Share schemes including free shares
  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
  • 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies

As a colleague of the Group, we’ll provide you with continuous training and development opportunities and regular career development conversations to help you fulfil your career potential, whatever your aspirations may be.
