Join a market-leading aviation finance team in London, working on a broad range of cross-border aircraft finance, leasing and asset-finance transactions. The team advises airlines, lessors, financiers and investors on complex financings, sale & leasebacks, portfolio deals and export-credit or tax-driven structures.

There are also opportunities to support contentious matters such as lease enforcement and repossession disputes.

The role is part of a fully integrated global aviation practice, offering exposure to regulatory, tax, disputes and commercial aspects of aviation work, international secondments and a clear path for progression within a collaborative team.

  • Qualified solicitor (England & Wales) or equivalent; up to 5 years' PQE.
  • Experience in aviation finance or closely related asset/structured finance practice preferred; strong finance or corporate experience considered.
  • Proven drafting and negotiation skills on finance/lease documentation.
  • Commercial awareness, strong communication skills and a collaborative, client-focused approach.
