Qualifications and Experience

You will hold a good (2:1) degree from a major university, be trained with a good city or regional law firm, and have at least five years’ post‑qualification experience in dealing with corporate work.

Additional experience with share scheme work and secured lending is desirable, particularly familiarity with EMI schemes and/or other HMRC‑approved share schemes or loan and security documentation. This is not essential but preferred.

Deal Experience

You will have dealt with deals up to around £40 m and led smaller deals from £0.5 k to £5 m, and be comfortable negotiating with City lawyers. Listing experience is not required. Contacts in corporate finance are helpful but not necessary.
