The team advises a broad range of public and private-sector clients across specialist lending, consumer and commercial finance, and wider financial-services subsectors. It has an established cross-border franchise, combining deep sector expertise with a strong track record in sell-side, buy-side and capital-raising mandates.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Associate to take on meaningful execution responsibility within a collaborative, entrepreneurial and high-performing platform.

- Reviewing and developing Analyst work, providing day-to-day guidance and quality control
- Building relationships with clients, investors and other market participants across the financial-services sector
Candidate profile
The successful candidate is likely to have:
- At least 3 years’ investment-banking, M&A advisory or corporate-finance experience
- Strong technical skills across financial modelling, valuation and transaction analysis
- Experience within financial institutions, specialist finance, lending, insurance or related financial-services sectors would be advantageous, but is not essential
- A demonstrable track record of supporting and executing live M&A transactions
- Excellent PowerPoint, Excel and presentation skills
- Strong commercial judgement, attention to detail and an ability to manage multiple workstreams under pressure
- The confidence and communication skills to work directly with senior colleagues and clients
- A collaborative approach, high personal standards and genuine interest in building a long-term advisory career
