A leading UK law firm is looking to appoint an experienced Derivatives lawyer at Legal Director level to join a growing specialist practice within its broader finance offering.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior derivatives specialist looking for a role combining high-quality technical work with significant client exposure and the opportunity to play an important part in the continued growth of the practice.
The team advises a sophisticated client base including banks, asset managers, insurers, pension funds, brokers and corporate treasury functions, with a practice spanning derivatives, trading documentation, securities financing, collateral arrangements and transaction-related hedging.
The successful candidate will have strong experience across areas including:
- ISDA documentation and complex schedule negotiations
- Credit Support Annexes, including VM and IM
- Securities financing transactions
- Regulatory margin requirements
- Netting and collateral enforceability
- Trading documentation across a range of asset classes
The practice also advises on hedging arrangements arising in connection with a broad range of financing transactions, giving the successful candidate exposure beyond standalone derivatives work.
A key attraction of the role is its breadth and senior-level responsibility. The incoming lawyer will have the opportunity to lead matters and client relationships, work closely with colleagues across the wider finance practice and contribute to the continued development of a successful and growing team.
There is strong scope for long-term progression for someone with the technical credentials, client skills and commercial ambition to develop their career within the practice.
Candidates are likely to be 8+ PQE, with substantial derivatives experience gained within a leading City, international or comparable practice.
For a confidential discussion about the opportunity, please get in touch.
