We help our clients to deliver some of the most innovative transactions in the UK, each tackling wider environmental and social challenges that the UK faces (from decarbonisation, to the shortfall in social housing).
Our team is split between our Leeds, London and Manchester offices, though for these roles we are specifically looking for great colleague in Leeds and/or Manchester.

Our clients include HSBC, Lloyds Bank plc, Goldman Sachs, Santander, ABN AMRO and UKIB.
Our ESG Team, whilst separate, sits alongside our ESG Finance Team. In addition to funders, our ESG Team advises key clients on some of the most ground-breaking ESG related advisory or transactional work. Our clients include: United Nations Global Compact, NATO, Science Based Targets Initiative, Museum of Natural History, TNFD, UKSIF, many globally recognised brands along with UK Government departments (including, in relation to the latter, undertaking ESG legal due diligence on major government investments).

Our success has been built by people from the widest range of backgrounds, locations, and perspectives. We have a number of employee networks that provide space to discuss the differences that make us who we are and celebrate this at AG.
