Capital Markets Associate 2 - 3PQE E&W Qual - Elite US law firm in City of London

Job description

UK Capital Markets Associate (2–3 PQE) | High-Profile ECM Work

An elite US law firm is seeking a UK-qualified Capital Markets Associate (2–3 PQE) to join its award-winning London team.

This is a rare opportunity to work on some of the most headline-grabbing ECM transactions in the City – from the largest London IPO in more than two years, to landmark de-SPAC deals, to global household names listing on the LSE.

Why This Role?

• Work on deals that make the front page – recent mandates include major IPOs, de-SPACs, and innovative cross-border listings under the FCA’s new regime.
• Truly international practice – handle both UK/European and US securities law aspects, with seamless exposure to equity and debt (investment grade, high yield, hybrids).
• Integrated global team – no silos; London is the hub for a top-tier global capital markets platform.
• Exceptional partner access – you’ll work directly with partners who’ve built their careers in this practice and are deeply invested in associate development.
• Career-defining breadth – expand from ECM into DCM and liability management transactions, setting yourself apart in the market.

Who They’re Looking For

• UK-qualified lawyer, 2–3 PQE.
• Solid experience in equity capital markets transactions: London listings, FCA/LSE engagement, UKLR/DTRs/MAR.
• Strong technical drafting skills and a sharp commercial outlook.
• Motivation to thrive in a fast-moving, deal-driven international environment.

The Offer

• Join a top-ranked capital markets team known for its high-profile mandates and international reach.
• Gain hands-on responsibility from day one on complex, precedent-setting transactions.
• Work in a close-knit, high-calibre team that values collaboration and professional growth.

If you’re ready to take your ECM career to the next level — on deals everyone talks about — this is your chance.
