Full Job Description

Launch Your Capital Markets Career at a Top 20 UK Law Firm

Are you a talented Junior to Mid-level associate with a passion for capital markets and derivatives?

With instructions from a great contact and highly regarded Capital Markets & Derivatives Partner, I am looking to interview Junior-Intermediate level Solicitors, with a good track record or exposure to 'Buy-Side' transactions, derivatives, and structured products from both a transactional and advisory standpoint.

The client is a champion of 'buy-side' interests in the UK derivatives market. He counts among his clients some of the UK's largest and most sophisticated financial institutions, investment managers, alternative asset managers, challenger banks, fintechs, and occupational pension schemes. He is rated as a 'Leading Individual' by both Chambers and Legal 500, and is 'Highly Regarded' by the IFLR.

He advises on ISDA, GMRA, and GMSLA documentation, as well as the impact of related regulation including EMIR and SFTR. He also advises on the structure and documentation of bespoke transactions, including sustainability-linked derivatives to hedge exposure to key market risks such as interest rate, inflation, FX, carbon exposures, and longevity. Additionally, he provides advice on investment management, custody, clearing, collateral management arrangements, pension scheme funding, and risk transfer arrangements.

This is a career opportunity across all areas of Capital Markets, Derivatives, and Structured Products work. It offers streamlined and fast-tracked progression and exceptional remuneration.

"If you are a talented lawyer who is excited by the prospect of working on complex and sophisticated capital markets transactions, we encourage you to apply or to speak to James Holt."
