The Role:

This role requires a motivated and ambitious lawyer to work within the expanding Restructuring team in our London Office which is part of our European Restructuring Team based in London, Milan, Berlin, Amsterdam and Warsaw.

The Greenberg Global Restructuring team has recently been ranked in Global Restructuring Review's GRR Top 30, a ranking of the world's leading law firms for cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters. GRR 30 profiles the top 30 "standout firms" based on deal size and the number of cross border elements in the deal. GRR itself described our entry into the Top 30 as a "rather stunning debut."

We are looking for a candidate with 3 to 6 years PQE who has a mix of restructuring and insolvency experience. Ideally this experience should include acting for administrators and liquidators, a working knowledge of schemes and Restructuring Plans, pre-packs and all aspects of restructuring and insolvency law.
