Interim Legal Opportunities | Global Financial Institution | London
Three seats. One of the biggest platforms in the market. Zero back-seat roles.
We're partnering with a leading global financial institution on a run of high-impact interim mandates - the kind of opportunities that don't sit on job boards for long. If you're a lawyer who wants live, high-stakes exposure without the long-term commitment, this is worth a serious look.
Equity Derivatives Lawyer | 6 months Join a business on a genuine growth trajectory. You'll be at the centre of new market expansion, major 2026 regulatory implementation (CCI, CRDVI), platform automation and AI-adoption initiatives, and pre-trade documentation enhancement. Fast start needed - this one won't wait.
Credit & Lending Lawyer | 12 months+ A meaty, long-running mandate for a qualified lawyer with strong lending experience (leveraged or project finance a bonus, not essential). Real autonomy, real stakeholder exposure - you'll be trusted to shape commercially sound outcomes and engage senior management directly, not just execute instructions.
Leveraged Acquisition & Event Financing Lawyer | ~5 months Interim cover on a high-profile leveraged and event financing desk while a permanent hire is secured. Ideal for a TLB-literate finance lawyer who wants to step straight into live, complex, cross-border deal flow with immediate impact.
Why these matter:
- Genuine platform, genuine deal quality - not a holding pattern
- Fast-moving processes - some of these need to move within days, not weeks
- A real look at what interim life in a top-tier institution actually involves
- Flexibility without sacrificing the calibre of work
If any of these sound like your next move - or even just piqued your curiosity - we'd love to talk. Confidential, no-pressure conversations always welcome.
