Job description

Exceptional Opportunity – Derivatives & Structured Finance Lawyer

I’m working with a top-tier international law firm that’s looking to strengthen its market-leading Derivatives and Structured Finance team. This is an outstanding chance for a talented lawyer to work on high-profile, complex matters with some of the biggest names in the financial world.

The Role

You’ll advise on the full spectrum of derivatives and structured products, covering:

• OTC derivatives (credit, commodity, FX, equity, fund, interest rate, insurance-linked)
• Structured financing (margin loans, TRS, strategic equity transactions)
• Securities financing (repo, stock lending, structured repo over liquid & illiquid assets)
• Negotiating futures, prime brokerage, clearing, custody and collateral agreements
• Advising on distressed investments, CDS settlement issues, and regulatory risk (including EMIR & SFTR)

The team also works closely with the firm’s structured credit, securitisation and energy/project finance practices—offering exposure to highly structured cross-practice deals.

The Ideal Candidate

• Strong derivatives experience (OTC, structured products, financing transactions)
• Exposure to securitisation, structured finance or energy/project finance is a plus
• Background in private practice, or in-house at a bank, hedge fund or financial institution

Why This Role?

You’ll be joining a partner who has a rare blend of private practice and in-house investment bank experience—offering clients (and you) an unrivalled perspective across buy-side and sell-side matters. The client base is impressive, including major global banks, corporates, funds, pension schemes and energy players.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-performing team, gain exposure to cutting-edge transactions, and accelerate your career in derivatives and structured finance.

If this sounds like the right move for you, let’s set up a confidential conversation.
