London
Established in 1972, Sullivan & Cromwell’s London office serves clients throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East and Gulf regions, as well as Central Asia. Lawyers have specialist expertise in equity and debt capital markets, M&A (including private equity), leveraged and acquisition finance, project development and finance, real estate, private equity and finance, U.S. antitrust and EU competition law, U.S. litigation and tax.
Our reputation for the highest professional quality of work rests on our dedicated pursuit of each client’s objectives, highly responsive client service, and legal advice grounded in a sophisticated understanding of the relevant business context or market. With lawyers working as truly integrated teams, clients benefit from our ability to tailor advice to their specific needs.
English-qualified lawyers
We are actively recruiting English-qualified lawyers with strong academic backgrounds, training at leading City firms and with experience in either corporate/M&A, finance (project finance, acquisition/leveraged finance or more general), international capital markets or a combination of these to join our expanding English law practice in London. This is an outstanding opportunity for ambitious solicitors to join a premier global law firm with top-tier practices in M&A, finance and capital markets, among other areas.
S&C lawyers have the opportunity to work on an exceptionally wide range of sophisticated transactions.
Our associates relish the challenge of involvement in a broad range of matters while being encouraged to develop their preferred areas of more specialized expertise. The overarching objective is for S&C lawyers to be highly trusted advisers to their clients by balancing a sound appreciation of the overall context with their specific areas of expertise.
We have a highly international practice and our English-qualified lawyers play a key role representing a European and global client base on matters in the United Kingdom, elsewhere in Europe, in Africa and the Middle East, the CIS/Central Asia and elsewhere in the world.
As evidenced by recent promotions to the partnership, career prospects for English-qualified lawyers are excellent and will continue to be so with the incremental growth of the English law practice. The Firm’s ethos is both to nurture and reward talent and this is an extremely exciting time to be joining us.
Our London office promotes a friendly but dynamic working environment, with a supportive and collegial culture.
Salaries are always at the top end of the “Wall Street” legal market and, reflecting our “one firm globally” approach, English-qualified associates are paid the same salaries as their U.S.-qualified colleagues.
