POSITION SUMMARY

We are currently looking for junior/mid-level associates to join the Banking practice in our Milan office.

• Providing advice for our domestic and international clients in respect of complex cross-border finance transactions
• Advising on complex issues, particularly in the areas of leveraged financings (including high yield), acquisition finance and corporate loans
