Legal Advisor, Banking & Finance.

For admitted attorneys with between one and three years of post-articles experience, based in Cape Town.

At Radiant Law, winner of multiple awards as a legal pioneer, we are continuing to see exciting new client work coming through from a rapidly expanding international client base. We are looking for an attorney with between one and three years of post-admission experience, to join our banking and finance team.

We are interested in people with strong commercial banking and finance experience who will thrive in an environment where they are regularly asked to come up with creative solutions and improvements, and who are ready for something different to the traditional legal working experience. If you have an appetite to learn and grow with us and are keen to be at the forefront of the transformation of the legal industry, we'd love to speak with you.

Working with us offers you:
·      a work from home/office based mix (permanently) combined with a dynamic and supportive team environment,
·      interesting banking work for global organisations,
·      a chance to get to grips with leading-edge legal technology solutions,
·      time to learn about and practice lean processes and focus on continuous improvements, and
·      an outlet for your creativity, working closely with clients to understand their needs and ensure that our support focuses on their key priorities.

To start with, you should:
·      be based in Cape Town
·      be an admitted attorney with between one and three years of post-articles experience, either within a law firm or in-house.
·      have experience working on commercial banking and finance agreements. We are looking for someone who has specifically worked on a variety of banking transactions, includiing loan agreements and ancillary commercial financial documentation.

What you'll be doing:
-
work on client account teams to draft, review and negotiate banking documents (of varying degrees of complexity) against tight timeframes,
- draft bespoke provisions where clients have particular needs,
use data to understand how well we are delivering services against clients' needs,
- identify ways to improve how we deliver our services and accelerate closing contracts (you'll work closely with our software developers, legal engineers and document automators),
- deliver improvement projects and demonstrate to our clients that we keep getting better at what we are doing for them,
- document what you learn in our knowledge repositories and share with the team through internal training, and
- in time, take over management of client accounts and take the lead in ensuring successful and continuously improving delivery.

Our environment is fast-paced and the one constant about Radiant is change! You should be able to demonstrate how you embrace a continuous improvement approach to meeting client needs. High levels of autonomy, self-motivation and strong communication and interpersonal skills are all vital.

Radiant is different. Make sure you have a good understanding of our values and what we look for in team members. We have a series of short videos on our website careers page to help you understand who we are, what we do, where we are going and whether Radiant will be a good fit for you - please take a little time to watch them.
