Join our high-performing legal team and play a critical role in providing legal support to the London Metal Exchange and LME Clear. The London Metal Exchange and LME Clear form the world’s leading industrial metals marketplace, setting reference prices which are used globally. The efficiency and trust in our marketplace, the financial clout of London’s wider financial sector, and the strength and robustness provided by London’s legal system set us apart from any other exchange.

As the LME strives to expand its current leading position in the metals industry, we are continuing to evolve to meet the market’s expectations of a modern commodities marketplace – accessible, efficient, trusted, and transparent – while protecting the LME’s unique features that are anchored in the physical industry. And as the world transitions to clean energy, its reliance on metals to generate, transmit and store more energy is increasing rapidly, further underpinning the critical role of the LME.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated team-player with a solution-driven approach to their work, who’s ready to take the next step-up in their career and be a part of a future-facing organisation that’s at an exciting point in its development.

This exciting opportunity in a key component of the financial market, offers the successful candidate the chance to provide advice on a wide range of interesting and intellectually stimulating matters within the global derivatives and commodities industry.

As a member of our corporate legal team, you’ll be responsible for providing expert advice on a variety of corporate and commercial issues including data privacy, IT, IP, financial crime and company law. The role will also provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to work on contentious litigation and regulatory issues from time to time. Working closely with the Head of Governance and Corporate Legal, and ultimately the General Counsel, you will have the opportunity to help drive the growth of the organisation and gain valuable experience that will enhance your analytical, drafting, negotiation and presentation skills.

The LME operates a collaborative environment, built on respect for individuals’ expertise. Within this environment, you will have opportunities to work directly with some of the LME’s most senior stakeholders, including the executive team and board members.

You will also collaborate closely with experienced colleagues in the legal team, who will gladly assist you in developing your skills and gaining wider market knowledge as you progress in your career at the LME.

This role is ideal for lawyers who wish to maintain a broad commercial practice with plenty of ownership and responsibility, while also contributing to shaping the practice area.

Ideally, you will have experience working for a commercial law firm and/or had a commercial in-house role. In-house experience is desirable, but not essential. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have an understanding of the commercial, legal, and regulatory context of the financial services market in which we operate, as well as knowledge of data protection law.

You will bring approximately 1-5 years of post-qualification experience (but we also encourage applications from candidates outside of this range).

This role also provides a competitive compensation package and benefits.

If you are looking to move from private practice, or to take the next step in your in-house career, please apply now.

The LME is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. In recruiting for our teams, we welcome the unique contributions that you can bring in terms of education, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, colour, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs. In doing so, we want every LME employee to feel our commitment to showing respect for all and encouraging open collaboration and communication.
