1 month ago


UK, UK, United Kingdom Interlink Talent Solutions Full time

As our client's practice continues to thrive and expand, they are eager to welcome a Senior member to their Structured Trade Finance team based in London.


The firm seek an individual with a robust client base (lenders and/or obligors) that could be transitioned to their firm.


Introduction to the Team:

  • As a top-tier firm in physical commodities in London for several decades, they represent a diverse range of major industry players, including traders, charterers, operators, insurers, financing institutions, and trade associations.
  • The team excels in both contentious and non-contentious matters arising from the international sale, purchase, financing, storage, and transportation of commodities, covering soft and hard commodities as well as all aspects of energy.
  • Currently, the London team consists of one Partner and a Senior Associate, both possessing strong knowledge of commodities and STF matters, supported by Lawyers from the general business group.


About You

  • The ideal candidate would ideally be at a Junior Partner level, although they are open to considering applicants who can bring substantial work, including legal directors, of counsels, or consultants.
  • While a background in commodities is advantageous, it is not a prerequisite.
  • The firm anticipate that the suitable candidate would have experience in general banking within a reputable law firm, particularly in trade finance and ABL.
  • They do not require extensive knowledge of specific STF instruments, as the existing team members are available to assist.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Drafting and negotiating bilateral and syndicated facilities.
  • Advising on security instruments and perfection of security.
  • Handling contractual liens.
  • Managing documentary credits, standby credits, and guarantees.
  • Facilitating tri-partite agreements between traders, brokers/members, and financing banks.
  • Providing counsel on various trade finance transactions, including pre-export finance, prepayment finance, stock/inventory finance, repo financing structures, borrowing base finance, receivables finance, payables financing, forfaiting, and factoring.
