An international banking organisation.

Description

Sitting in one of the transactional legal teams in London you will be responsible for the following matters:

  • On a daily basis, draft, review and negotiate the legal documentation for capital markets transactions (e. final terms) with a focus on non‐syndicated trades, repackaging trades and EMTN programme updates;
  • Support and coordinate the due diligence process for capital markets transactions;
  • Provide legal support and advice on laws, rules and regulations to front office colleagues relating to their products;
