Description

Capital Markets Associate – ECM (1–5 PQE)

I’m working with a leading international capital markets practice looking to add a UK-qualified associate to its Equity Capital Markets team in London.

This role would suit an ECM lawyer with experience on UK-listed equity transactions who is keen to work on high-profile, complex offerings with an international dimension.

The role

You’ll be involved in a broad range of UK equity capital markets matters, including:

IPOs, listings and secondary equity offerings
advising issuers, banks and investors on UK-listed transactions
working closely with regulators and exchanges in connection with equity offerings
supporting transactions with international and cross-border elements

The team operates on a fully integrated basis, meaning you’ll gain exposure not only to UK and European ECM work, but also to transactions with a US or global angle, and have the opportunity to broaden into adjacent capital markets areas over time.

About you

UK-qualified solicitor with 1–5 years’ PQE
Experience in UK Equity Capital Markets
Familiarity with the regulatory framework governing UK-listed equity transactions
Background at a City, international or strong capital markets-focused firm
Technically strong, detail-oriented and comfortable working on fast-paced transactions

If this is of interest, I’d be happy to have a confidential conversation and share further detail, please get in touch on Matthew@rutherfordsearch.com or +44 20 3137 3740
