Our clients are equally diverse, ranging from banks and financial institutions, private equity investors, corporate borrowers, and private individuals and entrepreneurs, to name a few. The team is small but growing, led by two former Magic-Circle partners, and supported by three fee-earners (including this role).

As a Paralegal in the Banking team, you will work closely with all team members on a wide variety of tasks as outlined below.
