London, United Kingdom bakermckenzieuk Full time

**The Role**

Our Banking Group is seeking a mid to senior level Associate with a good real estate finance background to join their real estate finance sub-group within their banking and finance team. The broader banking and finance team currently comprises 10 partners, 2 knowledge lawyers and 25 associates and trainees. Duties include:

- Advising clients on a mix of real estate finance related matters, real estate related special situations and also a wide range of non-real estate related matters including general banking work and leveraged finance, among other practice areas such as bilateral, club and syndicated loans,, trade finance facilities, funds finance, structured finance and restructuring). Transactions in the team are often cross-border involving multiple jurisdictions but will also involve some UK focused transactions. Associates work in a collegiate environment, for a range of partners, and can expect a good variety of work although there would be an expectation that, at least initially, a significant portion of work carried out would be real estate finance related.
- While this role is intended to support the real estate finance sub-group the role would not mean exclusive coverage of that practice area. Associates are encouraged to develop their own choice of specializations and to be proficient in at least two or more banking practice areas to be able to support the team's client demands.
- Associates are given regular and direct contact with clients, with a culture based on associates being given the level of responsibility they are ready for, rather than a PQE based method of work allocation.
- Developing relationships with clients including gaining a good knowledge of the client's businesses, economic drivers, market and sector requirements in order to ensure advice is relevant and commercial.
- There are regular opportunities for secondments with clients. Posting to other offices under the firm's associate transfer programme is also a possibility.
- Engaging in business development activities and being active in the promotion of the firm and seeking opportunities for new work.
- Working as part of a team including assisting with the supervision of junior lawyers' work, and taking an active part in sharing knowledge and experience with the team.

**The Team**

Real Estate Finance sits within the firm's broader Banking & Finance Practice serving our global client base.

Our Real Estate Finance team blends real estate, finance, corporate and tax expertise to create a fully coordinated service. We assist arrangers, financial institutions as well as borrowers including developers, funds, REITs, sponsors and other institutional investors with respect to complex domestic and cross-border property and portfolio financing transactions. Our ability to offer genuine cross-border in-depth expertise in the real estate finance world is what truly differentiates us from other firms.

We are able to advise financial institutions and other lenders, sponsors, borrowers and other corporate entities on all aspects of financing transactions - from origination, negotiation and documentation to closing. We also advise clients on enforcement situations, workouts and reorganisations and the full breadth of structured and capital markets offerings. As a firm, we are noted for our expertise in acquisition finance, securitisation, bank lending, financial regulatory work and project finance, especially advising on bespoke complex transactions and those involving emerging markets.

The London team are an integrated part of the Firm's Global Finance group of over 500 lawyers who cover the world's key financial money centres, many of whom are regularly featured in the top tier of rankings in both Legal 500 and Chambers for Banking and Finance. Some of these entries include:
