This global advisory-focused investment bank based in Mayfair is looking for a lawyer to act as sole legal counsel for the UK arm of its business. The company provides corporate strategic advice for large M&As and restructuring & special situations. This is a growing and successful business with a friendly atmosphere.
You would report directly to the General Counsel in New York and be responsible for advising the client-facing advisory businesses, including:
- negotiation of client relationships;
- advice regarding laws applicable to the businesses and transactions in which they are involved, including but not limited to compliance with the rules of the London Takeover Panel;
- oversight of legal disputes involving the business;
- oversight of external counsel who may from time-to-time be engaged by the firm regarding its business; and
- coordination with the International Compliance Officer and Managing Directors of the business.
You must have in-house experience at an investment bank in the corporate M&A or restructuring sector and have at least 6 years post-qualification experience. This is a versatile role requiring a candidate who is a self-starter with enough gravitas to work with senior business partners and clients.
