Description

An international law firm with a well-established derivatives and structured products practice is hiring an associate to join its London team.

The role sits within a globally integrated debt capital markets group and involves advising on a broad range of derivatives and structured finance matters, including:

Establishment and updating of on- and off-balance sheet structured products programmes
Securitised and OTC derivatives
Hedging arrangements linked to structured finance transactions
Structured repo and securities lending
Repackagings
Regulatory advice connected to the above

The team acts for a mix of financial institutions and market participants and is known for running matters through lean deal teams, giving associates early responsibility and consistent client exposure. Associates work closely with partners and are involved across the full lifecycle of transactions.

What stands out about this opportunity:

Genuine integration with an international DCM and structured finance platform
Regular exposure to complex, repeat institutional clients rather than isolated transactions

Clear expectations around development and progression, with a track record of internal promotion

Hybrid working model with flexibility built into the week

Structured training combined with on-the-job responsibility

Profile sought:

2–5 PQE derivatives and/or structured products experience from a strong City or international firm
Solid grounding in derivatives documentation and structured finance concepts
Comfortable managing workstreams and coordinating with colleagues across jurisdictions
Strong drafting skills and commercial awareness
