An established global law firm is recruiting experienced restructuring lawyers to join its consultant panel for London-based assignments. Roles are typically interim (six months or more) and cover complex cross-border restructurings, insolvency matters and special-situation work for a mix of firm practice-group and client-led engagements.

Assignments vary by mandate and may include in‑house style desk roles with financial institutions or hedge funds, integrated roles within a restructuring team on distressed M&A, liability management, out‑of‑court restructurings and formal insolvency proceedings. Consultants receive access to firm resources and professional support while working autonomously on high‑profile, technically demanding matters.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK; the panel cannot sponsor visas. Successful candidates should be ready to transition quickly into new environments and deliver senior‑level legal support to clients and internal teams.

Minimum 4 years' post‑qualification experience in restructuring and insolvency law
At least two years' private practice experience in a recognised restructuring/insolvency practice (Chambers/Legal 500 top tiers preferred)
Practical experience with cross‑border restructurings, distressed lending, insolvency proceedings or distressed trading
Strong commercial judgment, client‑service ethos and project management skills
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to work autonomously on interim assignments
Right to reside and work in the UK (no visa sponsorship available)
