Securitisation and Structured Finance Lawyer - Global Investment Bank

A leading investment bank is looking to appoint a Securitisation & Structured Finance Lawyer to join its highly regarded global legal team. The role will involve advising on a broad range of complex and high-value structured finance transactions, working closely with the business from initial structuring through to execution and across the wider transaction lifecycle. The breadth of the role is a particular feature of the opportunity. Rather than operating within a highly siloed product structure, you will have exposure across a diverse range of structured finance and securitisation products, including mortgages, CMBS, receivables financing, repackaging, asset-backed securities and CLOs. This offers the opportunity to work on varied and sophisticated transactions across multiple asset classes, while developing a broad understanding of the business. You will work closely with structuring and the wider deal team from the outset, providing legal advice on transaction structures, documentation, regulatory considerations and execution. The role is highly business-facing, with the legal team regarded as a key part of the transaction process. You will be expected to engage with complex legal and commercial issues, provide pragmatic solutions and contribute to the successful execution of transactions. The successful candidate is likely to have between three and eight years' post-qualification experience gained at a leading law firm or financial institution, with strong structured finance and/or securitisation experience. Experience across a number of asset classes would be particularly relevant, together with a good understanding of UK and EU securitisation regulation. You will have strong technical legal skills combined with the ability to communicate complex issues clearly and provide commercially focused advice. The role would suit someone who is proactive, collaborative and comfortable working with senior stakeholders across trading, structuring, investment banking and legal teams in a fast-paced international environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a structured finance lawyer looking for a role offering genuine breadth, sophisticated legal work and meaningful interaction with the business. You will join a close-knit and collaborative global legal team and have the opportunity to work on significant transactions while developing strong commercial relationships across the bank. An excellent remuneration package is on offer, alongside a strong work/life balance and the opportunity to join a highly regarded institution in a role with significant visibility and responsibility.
