Interim

Consulting Lawyer - Banking & Finance - Singapore

A global law firm

Apply in confidence →

We are building a panel of highly skilled, self-driven banking and finance lawyers to take on consulting assignments with a range of clients. This is an opportunity to work with more variety and control than a traditional in-house or private practice role, while maintaining a high level of technical practice.

Assignments can range from stepping into a team to support a project, to taking on a senior manager role on major transactions or regulatory change projects. Typically, assignments last two to six months and require a minimum of four days per week. There may also be ad-hoc opportunities to support teams internally or join them for fixed periods on specific deals.

Ideal candidates will have top-tier technical experience in general lending, Asian syndicated loan markets, leveraged finance, real estate finance, equity-backed and hybrid financing, or subscription line facilities, with familiarity in APLMA loan documentation. Strong communication, commercial acumen, and the ability to work autonomously in complex, multi-national environments are essential.

  • Right to work and reside in Singapore
  • Qualified to practice in at least one of England & Wales, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore or Australia
  • Minimum of three years' post-qualification experience at a top-tier law firm in banking and finance
  • In-house legal experience at leading financial services institutions or corporates preferred (directly or as a secondee)
  • Strong technical knowledge and experience in Asian markets
  • Self-starter with a commitment to building a career as a consultant and a drive to achieve at a high level
  • Adept at leading or working within complex multi-functional, multi-national project environments
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface at all levels and build strong relationships
  • Client service-focused with exemplary client service ethic and commitment
  • Strong commercial and business acumen
  • Resilient, adaptable, autonomous and highly credible
  • Advanced organisational skills and diplomacy
