Our client is a global investment bank which, despite the current macroeconomic outlook, is performing very well and is in growth mode. One of several focal points of growth is the cash equities and equity derivatives business, who are now looking for a junior/mid-level lawyer to join their team. The successful candidate will join a sophisticated, market-leading business and perform a role with real scope, encompassing advisory work, transaction structuring and execution support.
More specifically, you will:
- Provide product support across the full deal life cycle on equity, fund, index and hybrid derivative transactions;
- Advise on the development/drafting of documentation related to highly structured and bespoke transactions which are completely new to the market, and which may be secured or unsecured structures;
- Provide support to the indices business when required, who develop and create new indices for the bank, to bolster the offering of the index platform;
- Assist on major strategic transactions, such a book buybacks or M&A transactions with a derivatives/cash equity element.
In terms of skill set, the successful candidate will:
- Have 2+ years PQE, with solid derivatives/structured products experiences (ideally with some exposure to equity derivatives work, though this is not a pre-requisite);
- Likely hail from one of the top City law firms, or from a relevant team within another in-house financial services organisation;
- Be familiar with regulatory developments (encompassing ESG) which affect this arena of the market.
The release of this exciting opportunity coincides with a sustained period of strong performance of the bank, and this growth is set to continue moving forward, so there couldn’t be a better time to join. The successful candidate will form part of a small and highly regarded sub-team of lawyers which form part of the wider derivatives legal team who, in turn, support an innovative business which is run with rigour and dynamism.
To attract top-tier talent, this bank remunerates lawyers competitively on both base and bonus and also offers an excellent benefits package. This team also enjoys a generous and flexible hybrid working model.
