As a result, within a couple of years the successful candidate will likely inherit an entire book of business (and potentially a ‘Head of’ role).The Firm is hugely connected with a wide array of lenders although less so with the large Retail banks and so the ideal candidate will more likely have relationships with Challenger banks, foreign lenders and short-term lenders (34 of whom this Firm is panelled with).Further, the successful candidate will likely have experience of at least some of the following:

• Advising lenders in connection with enforcement of loans, usually secured, and providing them with details of their available options.
• Reviewing security and loan paperwork and identifying any issues with these.
• Advising on remedies to address any issues with loan and/or security which are identified, if there are any available.
• Dealing with possession proceedings where required including contested actions and third party claims.
• Preparing witness statements, instructing Counsel and agents in respect of hearings.
• Advising on fraud cases and the implications for the lender and its security.
• Preparing for and attending mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
• Pursuing guarantors, both corporate and personal.
• Pursuing claims for negligence against valuers and solicitors.
• Liaising with the CPS regarding Restraint Orders and other orders under POCA and advising lenders on the implications on their enforcement.
• Advising receivers and administrators on matters related to security properties following their appointment (these can be very diverse).
• Negotiating and liaising with local authorities about planning breaches, amendments to S.106 agreements.
• Pursuing claims against the HMLR compensation scheme where the title is rectified as a result of fraud.
• Advising on whether loans should be regulated or unregulated and providing advice as to the relevant exemptions to the MCOB regulations.
• Liaising with High Court Enforcement Officers regarding enforcement in complex or contested cases.
• Advising clients on matters such as penalty clauses, allegations of unfair relationships and misrepresentation.
• Advising on claims of undue influence, usually from providers of third party security.
• Managing client relationships and providing monthly reports for some clients and attending quarterly governance meeting for others.
