Banking and finance laterals, recruited nationwide.

Your product and your side.

Lateral Lock starts by sorting out whether you mostly represent lenders, borrowers, or sponsors, which credit products you know best, and how much of each deal you run yourself.

• Building the firm list.Lender-side leveraged loans, borrower-side acquisition finance, asset-based lending, and direct lending are screened as different products. We look for firms where that product and your side match, and where the next step you want is realistic.
• What we check.Our research covers each firm's platform, the work mix by product, the banks, funds, and borrowers among its clients, the offices involved, and the trajectory of the group.
• Describing your deals.We arrange the resume in the order a finance group cares about: product, lender or borrower side, then the documents and negotiation you handled. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. The cover letter leads with the credit work that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
• Confidentiality, interviews, and the offer.Introductions happen only with your approval. We prepare you for each interview and help negotiate the offer.
