A leading global aviation lessor is looking to hire a Transaction Legal Associate to join its Aviation Legal team. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience across complex cross-border transactions in a fast-paced, international environment.
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting aircraft and engine leasing, acquisition, financing, and restructuring transactions while contributing to post-delivery portfolio management. You will work closely with internal deal teams and collaborate across legal, commercial, technical, and finance functions throughout the full transaction lifecycle — from LOI through to closing and beyond.
Key Responsibilities:
Provide legal support on aircraft and engine leasing, acquisition, financing, and sale transactions.
Assist in negotiating and managing transaction documentation, ensuring alignment with internal policies and timelines.
Support portfolio management activities, including restructurings, repossessions, defaults, and maintenance agreements.
Manage transaction records and ensure accurate and timely updates across internal systems.
Work closely with cross-functional teams in multiple jurisdictions to deliver smooth transaction execution.
Candidate Profile:
1–3 years of experience in a transactional legal role, ideally within aviation leasing, financial services, or structured finance.
Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
Self-motivated and detail-oriented, with a proven ability to manage competing deadlines.
A collaborative mindset with experience working across multi-disciplinary teams.
Comfortable engaging with internal and external stakeholders in a global setting.
This is an excellent opportunity for a legal professional to further develop their career within a leading global aviation leasing platform, gaining exposure to complex international transactions and portfolio management.
