(Senior) Associate Banking & Finance - Small Team, Strong Growth

Overview

(Senior) Associate Banking & Finance – Small Team, Strong Growth

My client is an international business law firm with a strong and growing presence in Luxembourg, recognized on the local market for its high-quality legal work and its modern company culture. The firm combines the advantages of a global organization, nearly 500 lawyers worldwide, with the accessibility and agility of a human-sized Luxembourg office of around 40 people. The Banking & Finance department is composed of fewer than 10 professionals, including one partner, and is considered one of the firm’s most dynamic teams. The group benefits from a stable workflow, a diversified client base, and an excellent reputation among financial institutions, lenders and international investors. Direct access to the partner, real involvement in transactions and fast exposure to client-facing responsibilities are common within the team.

The office environment is young, structured and genuinely positive, with values centered around teamwork, technical excellence, and open communication. Partners are supportive and committed to helping lawyers grow continuously. Flexibility is encouraged when the workload allows it, and the team operates with an organized and efficient approach, allowing a healthier work rhythm compared to more traditional international firms.

As the Banking & Finance practice continues to expand, the firm is now looking for a (Senior) Associate ready to take ownership of files, contribute to ongoing deals and grow within a high-quality yet human environment.

Profile and Career Path

• You have at least 3 years of experience in a Banking & Finance department of a Luxembourg law firm. The firm is open to recruiting either an Associate or Senior Associate, so more experience is welcomed.
