In a business environment that’s facing new digital, economic, political and environmental challenges, we help our clients to gain competitive advantage by providing commercially focused insights and legal services.

We’ve been around for over 250 years and have a presence across Europe, Asia and the US. Within our core sectors, our clients range from market leaders to fast-growth companies.

Our structure and approach ensures we’re experts in the sectors our clients work in and we understand the issues they face. We believe that the more we understand the big picture, the more we can provide positive and insightful solutions across the spectrum of advisory, litigation and transactional services.

But we don’t stop at being experts. We believe in building diverse, enduring and rewarding relationships. Our clients and our people tell us that we have a strongly ingrained, genuinely differentiated approach that’s unstuffy and easy to work with. It’s what makes us different to other law firms and helps us to work in partnership with our clients and connect the dots that other law firms might not see.

The practice</b></p>
<p>
Our highly profitable FIG practice, part of the Business Transactions Group (BTG), spans 4 core service lines: Investment Funds; Payments; Consumer and Small Business Finance; and Financial Regulation.</p>
<p>
We advise financial institutions, corporates and service providers on all aspects of the financial services environment in which they operate. We advise across the financial services market and our clients include clearing, commercial, private and investment banks, securities firms, asset and investment managers, e-money and payment institutions, and service providers. Our work ranges from pure advisory work through product launches to outsourcings and M&amp;A.</p>
<p>
We are known for our technical excellence, but more so for our solutions-led approach which makes us a good fit for assisting clients bringing innovative products to market. Much of our practice is international in nature, driven through the increasing OC International reach.</p>

<p><b>
The role</b></p>
<p>
We act for a market leading private equity fund secondaries manager. We undertake secondary funds transactions for the client, which involves the purchase of interests in existing private equity funds. The client buys these interests on a portfolio basis, typically between 25 and 75 interests at a time. Each purchase of an interest requires completion of a significant amount of legal documentation, including transfer agreements and investor questionnaires. We have developed an online platform to help assist with the management of the transfer process, but we need legal input to negotiate the transfer agreements and to complete the investor questionnaires.

<li>Working with lawyers representing the sellers and fund managers of the interests being transferred to agree transfer documentation.</li>
<li>Completing investor questionnaires.</li>
<li>Liaising with our client and its offshore administrators in relation to the above.</li>
<li>Managing the transfer process, including tracking the progress of each document and facilitating the completion of the transfer (and the payment for the interest).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Skills and experience</b></p>
<p>
Previous experience working as a paralegal would be advantageous but not a pre-requisite. Most importantly, you need to be someone who is highly organised, commercially-minded, a team worker and able to put yourself in the shoes of the client. The paralegals who currently undertake this work spend most of their time in OC offices and regularly work outside normal office hours, for which we pay overtime.</p>
<p>
The successful candidate will:</p>

Role profile
We are looking for a Knowledge Lawyer/Senior Knowledge Lawyer to provide high quality knowledge support for our market-leading Banking and Finance team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work with our experienced and well-respected Knowledge team, working in a supportive and collegiate environment. It would suit both someone who was looking to try a knowledge role for the first time as well as those with previous experience of professional support.

You may choose to be based in any of our London, Reading or Bristol offices and work on a part-time or full-time basis. We are also happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, which are common across the Knowledge Team and in the relevant Practice Group.

The practice

Osborne Clarke LLP has been a key part of the European debt mid-market for years. Our work for lenders is characterised by high-quality risk management delivered in a commercially appropriate way. Our bank-panel positions make us an obvious choice for multi-bank transactions. We also advise major public companies, sponsors and private companies alike, providing commercial debt advice that goes far beyond legal documents.

The team includes specialists in Leveraged Finance, Real Estate Finance, Venture & Growth, Funds and Corporate Banking. We have strong relationships with all the UK’s major clearing banks, as well as a number of credit funds and specialist lenders, and we are fully integrated into Osborne Clarke's fast-growing national and international network. We have an excellent reputation in all of our key sectors which include Financial Services, Telecoms, Media and Communications, The Built Environment, and Energy and the Energy Transition, as well as hotels and leisure, healthcare, education and fund financings.

The banking team currently consists of 7 partners, 2 Legal Directors, 4 Associate Directors, 5 Senior Associates, 9 Associates, 5 Trainee Solicitors, 3 Solicitor Apprentices and 4 Paralegals.
The opportunity

Knowledge is at the heart of Osborne Clarke's strategy, and you will be a key member of an innovative and purposeful Knowledge team. You will provide dynamic, technically excellent and business-focused support to the Banking and Finance team, implementing best practice professional support.
The Banking team sits within our Projects, Real Estate and Finance (PREF) Practice Group. You will work collaboratively with our existing Banking Knowledge Lawyer Director (who is also the Head of PREF Knowledge), the other PREF Knowledge Lawyers, the Banking Partners and other members of the Knowledge team as well as sales and marketing professionals and Partners in other parts of the firm. You will carry out your responsibilities with the support of your line manager - the Head of PREF Knowledge - and dedicated paralegal, PA and training administration support.

Like all our people, you will benefit from our multi-award winning development programme so that you are well supported and developed in your role to build a career in Knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

You will:

facilitate keeping the Banking team up-to-date on legal and regulatory change across the team's practice.
organise the delivery of legal training, facilitating know-how sharing and maintaining a technically excellent collection of template documents.
assist in the preparation of client 'insights' and produce reader-friendly internal updates and client publications.
deal with queries from lawyers and clients regarding current law and practice.
input into and help to deliver the Banking team Knowledge strategy and wider Osborne Clarke Knowledge strategy.

Skills And Experience

You will have an excellent knowledge of banking and finance law and its application to commercial business issues.

You will have an ability to present information clearly - both in writing and when speaking. You will be a pro-active self-starter with excellent organisational skills. You will be someone who thrives in a team environment, working collaboratively with the other PREF Knowledge Lawyers and wider Knowledge team.

Due to the technical nature of the work, we are looking for someone who is legally-qualified with relevant post-graduate experience. You may be a fee-earning lawyer in private practice or working within the legal team of a business, in academia or in a knowledge role elsewhere, or returning to work after a career break.
If you are unsure whether your qualifications and experience are right for the role, please do contact us - we are always happy to have informal conversations with people who would like to join our team.
