Social, Sustainable and Green Finance Managing Associate, 5PQE+, Leeds or London

As part of our strategy for continued growth, we are looking for Managing Associates to join our dynamic Social, Sustainable and Green Finance practice, a team with a fantastic reputation in the market and who focus on finance that addresses sustainability changes.

What You'll Do:

• Due to the impact of the constantly evolving Government policies, Social, Sustainable and Green Finance continues to be high on the political agenda, resulting in a consistent and fast-paced work stream for the team.
• You'll be part of a team addressing the most urgent environmental, social and green issues, from decarbonisation efforts to revolutionising social housing.

• Leading on high-value and complex transactions, such as bond issues, private placements, syndicated and bilateral loans, and sustainability-linked financing.
• This is a high performing, cohesive and busy team with a strong reputation for providing Managing Associates with high levels of responsibility within a supportive and stretching environment and therefore you can expect to take a leading role on most matters.
• Continuous development is valued, and you will be encouraged to engage with formal training programmes (whether technical or skills based) and to draw on mentoring, coaching and leadership development programmes available to you.

Who We're Looking For:

• A qualified solicitor with at least 5 years' PQE, gained at a comparable law firm, showcasing a proven track record of expertise and experience within this sector.
• Technical abilities as a finance lawyer are more important than previous sector knowledge - but a clear desire to work on impact finance transactions is key.

• Have the ability to manage and lead complex transactions, working collaboratively with fee earners across multiple disciplines to deliver seamless, high-quality advice to clients.
• Show a genuine enthusiasm for business development, with the drive to build and strengthen client relationships and contribute to the growth of the practice.
