About the job

Rutherford is partnered with an elite global law firm to recruit a 2–6 PQE Banking & Finance Solicitor for its London office. The firm is recognised as a market leader in complex, cross-border financings, with a truly international footprint across all major financial centres. Its London Banking team plays a central role in advising on some of the largest and most sophisticated multi-jurisdictional transactions in the EMEA market.

You’ll work alongside leading practitioners in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment, advising major banks, financial institutions, and sponsors on high-value, innovative financing transactions.

The role offers early responsibility, close partner access, and seamless collaboration with colleagues across global banking, M&A, capital markets, and project finance teams.

Key responsibilities

Advise on large-scale domestic and cross-border banking and finance transactions for leading global financial institutions.
Draft, review, and negotiate finance and ancillary documentation with a high degree of technical precision.

Support multi-jurisdictional transactions, coordinating with international counsel and internal teams.

Take an active role in day-to-day deal management, including client communications and transaction coordination.

Assist with due diligence, legal analysis, and preparation of legal memoranda on complex commercial and corporate issues.

Work closely with senior lawyers to deliver high-quality advice under tight deadlines.

What you’ll bring

2–6 PQE experience in banking and finance, ideally gained at a leading City or international firm.
Strong academic background and excellent technical drafting skills.
Ability to manage multiple workstreams in a high-pressure, transaction-focused environment.
Commercial awareness and the ability to see both the detail and the wider deal context.
Confident communicator with a proactive, collaborative approach.

Why join

You’ll join a globally integrated banking practice with established teams in every major financial market, trusted by many of the world’s largest banks to handle their most complex transactions. The team is known for its collaborative culture, global mindset, and consistent exposure to market-leading cross-border work.

Associates benefit from top-tier training, early responsibility, and genuine international collaboration, working with colleagues across Europe, the U.S., Asia, and the Middle East. This is an outstanding opportunity to develop as a banking lawyer within a firm that operates at the very top of the global market.
