We have identified a great new opportunity within the Equity Capital Markets team in our London Corporate Group for a senior Associate level hire. The candidate will have at least 5 years' relevant pqe from a mainstream player and critically will have been exposed to main market listing and fund raising work rather than simply AIM experience (where we have plenty of existing expertise). In addition it would be helpful if the candidate has had international CM exposure working on cross border matters. If said person comes with an additional string to their bow of either public or private M&A for instance, that is fine, but we want to stress the "must have" is main market ECM exposure. The other crucial point is that we are looking for someone in whom we can already see evidence of practice development capability as this is a role where there is a clear partnership track and as such want to fill it with someone who we see as very definite partner material. Whilst a following is not essential, what is required is the ability in time to develop and sustain a practice that most certainly is. Our current London ECM capability is 5 partners (nationally 15) with significant ECM capability throughout Europe and Asia too. It's no secret that we are looking to focus on our transactional groups in London. A critical element of the London Corporate's team strategy is the investment in, and development of, its ECM capacity.
