Team overview Ashurst Perkins Coie's market-leading Structured Finance and
Derivatives practices operate at the intersection of law, structuring
and market innovation. We advise a distinguished client base—including
leading investment banks, private capital investors, insurers,
multilateral institutions and sovereign clients—on sophisticated,
often first-of-their-kind transactions in fast-moving markets. The
work spans derivatives across credit, equity, fund-linked, commodities
and digital assets; securitisation and asset repackaging;
collateralised financing and structured treasury operations; risk
transfer; and other capital-driven products, alongside high-value
advisory work. The breadth is real: you will move across products and
formats, helping clients turn complex ideas into executable transactions. The opportunity From day one, you will take hands-on responsibility for complex
transactions, drafting, negotiating and closing deals from term sheet
through post-closing. You will work on novel structures and help shape
market-first documentation—not simply assist—while working directly
with clients and colleagues across the firm and around the world. When
the work is advisory, you will analyse challenging issues, draw on the
Firm's expertise and develop clear, commercially useful advice. The
pace is high, the matters are varied and every transaction is an
opportunity to deepen your expertise and help move the market forward. Key Responsibilities - Drafting and negotiating derivatives documentation (including ISDA
Master Agreements, CSAs, confirmations and related schedules). - A dvising on securitisation, repackaging and structured note
programmes and structured debt capital market transactions. - Supporting collateralised financing and repo transactions;
conducting legal and regulatory analysis on novel product structures. - Preparing client-facing memoranda and market briefings; and
managing transaction workstreams and coordinating with internal and
external stakeholders.
About You You will be a qualified solicitor in England & Wales, typically
with 1-4 years' PQE in a Derivatives, Structured Finance or Debt
Capital Markets practice. You will bring strong drafting and
negotiation skills; experience with derivatives, securities financing
and /or securitisation documentation is a distinct advantage. You will
have a sound understanding of financial products and markets,
commercial instincts and the ability to cut through complexity.
Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging directly with
clients are essential, as are genuine intellectual curiosity and an
appetite for continuous learning. We also welcome candidates from
adjacent practice areas who are ready to pivot into derivatives,
structured finance or debt capital markets. #LI-HYBRID |
