Our client is an international commercial bank who specialises in trade finance solutions in emerging markets, but whose coverage extends to treasury/investment services as well as real estate finance.
Due to strong performance, a newly created role for a finance lawyer has arisen in this organisation and whilst lending matters are a key component of the work, the legal team covers a very broad remit, encompassing a wide scope of commercial contracts, treasury work, financial services regulation and product development.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Have a background in general banking/LMA suite of documentation (but whose practice could alternatively have a trade, receivables, asset, real estate or project finance focus).
- Bring additional experience in commercial contracts drafting and negotiation (e.g. Technology, outsourcing or service-level agreements);
- Have a sense of the regulatory environment that banking entities occupy and can advise on relevant/upcoming regulatory change in this arena;
- Ideally have treasury experience, though this is by no means a pre-requisite.
The overriding and most attractive feature of this role is its scope and would suit lawyers who do not wish to be pigeon-holed or overly specialise in specific areas of financial service law. As a result, the successful candidates will be inquisitive and a natural problem-solver: someone who is adept in tackling unfamiliar matters with a pragmatic and adventurous attitude.
You will join an established team of lawyers and will report directly to the Head of Legal and receive a competitive level of base compensation and annual bonus, as well as a flexible and generous ability to work from home on a weekly basis, if desired.
