We are working with a high-performing global banking and finance team in London that is continuing to grow off the back of an exceptionally strong workflow. While the team has already made a number of successful junior hires, deal flow remains consistently high and there is clear scope to bring in another 2-4 PQE associate, with flexibility to look at candidates from the Class of 2020 to Class of 2023. This is a team that has grown organically and thoughtfully, and the emphasis is firmly on long-term development rather than short-term headcount.
The team is sizeable, with around 20 associates, and is led by a small group of highly respected partners who work extremely closely with one another and with the associate group. Although there is a natural spread of experience, the structure is intentionally non-hierarchical, and the culture is genuinely close-knit. Many of the lawyers have trained together, lateralled together, and progressed together within the team, which creates a strong sense of loyalty and shared purpose.
A particularly striking feature of this group is retention. A large cohort joined from another leading international firm a few years ago, and the vast majority remain at the firm today, having progressed through the ranks. Almost every partner and senior associate is a tangible example of what long-term progression in the team can look like, which is a compelling message for anyone thinking about their next move.
