Due to a period of growth we have an excellent opportunity for a Legal Director to join our London team and take a vital role in business development and in originating and managing real estate finance transactions, often with complex capital structures, from instruction through to completion. There will also be the opportunity to manage juniors in the team and supervise them both locally and remotely, in running smaller transactions.
Working closely with our national Banking team and our local London legal advisors, we would expect you to have a sound knowledge of the real estate finance market, be confident drafting and reviewing facility documentation on the LMA or bank standard form, be able to draft and negotiate bespoke intercreditor or priority documentation and to be well versed in the different types of security documentation. You should also have strong project management skills as a number of our transactions involve liaising with firms in other jurisdictions or pulling together different disciplines within Shoosmiths.
The successful candidate will have significant experience advising borrowers, lender and investors on the full spectrum of real estate finance transactions, and be confident in in managing and driving the transaction to completion. You will also have a strong track record of team working, collaboration and supervising and developing junior members of the team, as this will form a significant part of this role.
We consider this to be a competency level 3/4. |
