Job description

Connect to your Industry

The Credit & Restructuring Tax Team is a fast-growing team that provides market-leading expertise to a range of clients across a variety of situations. We are looking for Directors to work on a wide range of transactions, advising funds, institutional investors, and borrowers undertaking transactions in the credit and restructuring markets. These can include lending and borrowing, buying and selling debt, rescuing overleveraged businesses, supporting key stakeholders, and building long-term relationships with those businesses and stakeholders as they recover and grow through further transactions.

Credit and restructuring transactions cover a broad range of interesting situations. Macroeconomic factors are currently fueling a material increase in activity in this area, but it remains a key part of the market at any stage of the economic cycle, directing and redirecting financing to where it's most needed to support growth. These transactions are varied and bespoke, involving UK and cross-border structuring advice.

Our team comprises a diverse group of high-performing professionals who thrive on collaborating with clients to understand their commercial goals and supporting them with a range of varied, valued, and challenging services.

As a transactions-focused team, we work closely with our M&A and Real Estate tax teams, as well as other specialist teams and service lines, to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients. You will be an integral member of the team, managing a portfolio of high-profile clients and projects, developing and leading your own client relationships, and mentoring more junior team members. You will work alongside partners within client teams and wider global project teams.

As a director, you will contribute to business development and growth initiatives, undertake leadership responsibilities, and play a role in talent development. Deloitte emphasizes your development through continuous training, transparent appraisal processes, workload management, and career goal setting. We encourage flexible working arrangements to achieve the best outcomes for our people and clients.
