Senior Legal Counsel (Lev-Fin / TLB exp required) – Global Financial Institution

Senior Legal Counsel | Leveraged & Acquisition Finance and Event Financing | London (Hybrid)

Term Loan B experts – this is the in-house move you’ve been waiting for.

I’m working with one of the world’s leading global financial institutions to find a Senior Legal Counsel for their Leveraged & Acquisition Finance and Event Financing Legal team – a genuinely global function spanning London, Paris, Düsseldorf, Dubai and the US.

This isn’t a back-seat legal role. You’ll be at the table on complex, cross-border financings from pitch to completion, working directly with origination, Credit, Compliance, ESG and Tax, and shaping how the biggest deals in the market get done.

The work:

• Structure, negotiate and execute finance documentation across leveraged finance, event financing, infrastructure and IG transactions
• Run deals end-to-end with real ownership and autonomy
• Be the trusted legal voice for origination teams on live, high-stakes transactions
• Flag and resolve legal, reputational and regulatory risk before it bites
• Direct external counsel to deliver value, not just paperwork
• Stay a step ahead of the market on leveraged and event finance developments

What gets you through the door:

• Qualified lawyer, private practice or in-house, at a leading financial institution
• Strong Term Loan B experience – essential; high yield/private credit a strong plus
• Command of banking, corporate and financing structures across major jurisdictions
• Proven ability to lead complex cross-border deals solo
• Sharp commercial instincts and comfort with ambiguity
• The stakeholder management skills to keep senior management, Credit and Compliance all rowing the same direction

Why say yes:

• A seat in a top-tier global legal function at a leading international bank
• Visibility with business leadership from day one
• Hybrid working, London-based
• Compensation, bonus and benefits that match the seniority of the role
