HOURS: 35 hours, full time
WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites for the Legal & Secretariat team.

Job Description

About this Opportunity:

This is an excellent chance to join the Securities & Asset Management Legal team (SAML) on a permanent basis. Ours is a positive and pragmatic legal team, working closely with business areas across the Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) business area of Lloyds Banking Group (the Group) for clients in the UK and overseas.

The team supports across a variety of client debt capital markets transactions. Products include securitisations, covered bonds, unsecured primary bond issuance, private placements, green bonds, social housing bonds, structured products, liability management exercises and high yield bond transactions. We’re looking for a qualified lawyer to help us deliver specialist and insightful advice on securitisation transactions of various asset classes, including mortgage loans, credit cards, auto loans and trade receivables, from the structuring and development of transactions through to launch. You would also have the chance to learn about and get involved in the other types of debt capital markets transactions supported by the team.

Now is a superb time to join us, given this is a growing and strategic area for the Group. Indeed this role is an additional recruit to the team to support that growth. You would report to the Head of Legal of SAML and work closely with the rest of the team and business colleagues. Similarly, you would collaborate with colleagues across Legal & Secretariat (L&S) on central initiatives in support of the wider team.

If you’re looking for a great opportunity to continue building your knowledge and develop your career, you can achieve your goals in this role. You’ll join a friendly, dedicated, value adding legal team, who work hand in hand with our businesses to build great customer outcomes.

About you: You’re someone who will:

• Have a sound understanding and broad experience of securitisations and the curiosity to be involved in other transactions in the debt capital markets space.
• Be able to provide sound and commercial legal advice, and work well both as an individual and in groups, with the support of a friendly team who will help you develop your skills and knowledge in this area.
• Be great at building trust and influencing others, be keen to grow internal and external networks to help achieve more together, and collaborate across L&S to support the wider business and our community as a whole.
• Appreciate the chance to come up with innovative ideas, challenge where appropriate, build consensus and deputise for colleagues where appropriate.
• Be passionate about your own development and relish the opportunities to upskill in areas which impact this business, including in matters of ESG, Data, Tech Advances and Digitalisation.

Background

You must hold a current practising certificate in a relevant jurisdiction. Ideally you would have a minimum of 4 years post qualification experience in and a strong understanding of the legal and regulatory framework and market practices applying to securitisation transactions, whether gained in private practice or in a mixture of private practice and inhouse. However, if that is not quite the case, but you have demonstrable relevant expertise, clearly transferable skills, and are serious about your development, we would be pleased to consider your application.

We’ll support your growth with continuous training and development opportunities, regular feedback and career development conversations to help you fulfil your career potential, whatever your aspirations may be.
