Pragmatic and highly organized, you should be comfortable managing multiple workstreams and consistently meeting deadlines. Excellent communication skills will also be a major asset-enabling you to communicate information clearly and succinctly, and to be diplomatic when interacting with clients and outside parties. Able to see the big picture when it comes to deal context, you should also have a keen eye for detail-with the intellectual rigor to produce timely, flawless analyses of highly technical contracts.
Proactive and self-motivated, you should balance an independence of thought and action with an ease working collaboratively with colleagues.

Our Practice Area
With established teams in every major financial market, we are trusted by many of the world's largest banks to handle their largest and most complex multijurisdictional transactions. Widely recognized as leaders in our field, we offer both international reach and a depth of local resources-advising on the full spectrum of financing matters, and structuring innovative, often ground-breaking deals.
From the moment you join us, you will be working alongside leading practitioners, supporting multi-disciplinary teams composed of colleagues from within our group and across the firm's M&A, Capital Markets and Project Finance groups. An exciting, fast-paced practice, we expect our associates to deliver outstanding work to tight deadlines, and to display the cool head and positive mindset to flourish in a pressurized environment.
As an associate, you will be expected to take a lead on many of the day-to-day communication tasks involved in ensuring that deals are running smoothly-conveying information to colleagues, clients and outside parties, and responding to queries and requests. Your core responsibilities will also include vital contractual work, such as editing passes on ancillary documents to ensure accuracy and linguistic precision.
Supported by your team at every step, you will find the work both challenging and rewarding, with excellent opportunities for learning and professional development.
