HOUSEHOLD NAME

The Opportunity

An international, high growth household name is looking for a UK lawyer with a background in corporate, capital markets and securities compliance, with an additional focus on US securities matters.

The role combines a broad corporate remit with exposure to US listing, SEC and capital markets requirements, offering direct exposure with senior leadership and C-suite stakeholders.

The Role

• Advise on corporate, corporate finance and capital markets matters.
• Support US securities compliance, SEC reporting and disclosure requirements.
• Advise on matters relating to a US-listed business and its ongoing obligations.

About You

We are looking for a UK based lawyer with a background in corporate, capital markets and/or securities compliance, ideally with:

• Strong UK/EU corporate law experience.
• Experience or knowledge of corporate finance and capital markets.
• Exposure to US securities, SEC compliance or public company requirements.
• An interest in developing US securities and capital markets expertise.
• The confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders and C-suite executives.
• Strong commercial judgement and a strategic mindset.

If you think you are the right match for the following opportunity, apply after reading the complete description.

A US LLM would be advantageous but is not essential.

The priority is a strong UK/EU corporate or capital markets lawyer with an additional US perspective for example, experience gained through a secondment to a US public company and the ambition to develop this expertise further.

We are open to junior to mid-level lawyers with a strong City background and a solid corporate and capital markets experience, ideally gained at a leading firm.

US exposure would be particularly attractive, such as a secondment to a US-listed company or experience advising on US securities and capital markets matters. xwzovoh
