Associate – Asset & Aviation Finance

Our client, a leading international financial services law firm, is looking for an ambitious Associate to join its highly regarded Asset & Aviation Finance team in Dublin. The practice is market-leading and award-winning, and the team is growing, so this is a strong opportunity for a lawyer looking to build a career in one of Ireland's most internationally focused practice areas.

You’ll work across two partners in the team, advising banks, financial institutions, lessors, aircraft owners, arrangers and private equity groups on complex, multi-jurisdictional asset finance, aviation finance and leasing transactions. Working with more than one partner means broad exposure to different clients and deal types, and real responsibility on high-quality matters from day one.

The firm is looking for solicitors with a minimum of 3 years' PQE, ideally in asset and aviation finance from a recognised practice. Lawyers with a general finance, banking or project finance background are also welcome to apply. Candidates currently practising in Ireland are welcome, as are those returning or relocating who are eligible for an Irish practising certificate. You'll bring strong academics, excellent drafting and transaction management skills, good commercial awareness and a calm, organised approach to competing deadlines.

In return, the firm offers a competitive salary and discretionary bonus, hybrid working, health insurance, a pension with employer contribution, professional fees paid, secondment opportunities and a strong focus on mentoring and progression within a collegiate, team-based culture.
