About the role

We’re working closely with a leading independent law firm on an excellent opportunity for a mid-level Associate to join their highly respected Restructuring team in London.

I think a key selling point is the firm environment and the Partners - it's a really excellent place for a Lawyer to access high-quality work in the City but a firm that do really consider work/life balance.

The team advises across the full spectrum of restructuring and insolvency matters from mid-market transactions through to complex cross-border mandates. Much of their work involves acting for lenders, borrowers, sponsors, and insolvency practitioners on financial restructurings, distressed M&A, and advisory mandates.

While the firm is UK-headquartered, it has a strong international outlook through close relationships with leading firms across Europe, the US, and Asia. You’ll gain exposure to top-quality domestic matters and interesting cross-border work, within a team known for its commercial approach and approachable culture.

What’s on offer:

• Salary in the £170,000–£190,000 range
• A broad range of restructuring and insolvency work
• Excellent Partner access and mentorship
• Both mid-market focus and strong large-cap exposure
• Collaborative, supportive working environment

We work closely with the firm and can provide real insight into the opportunity, team culture, and progression path.
