  • Providing structured supervision and on-the-job training to more junior team members
  • Contributing to Ashurst Advance team know-how
  • Working with the Ashurst Advance Senior Manager to develop business and identify new solutions for Global Markets' clients
Essential Skills and Experience

The successful candidate will have:

  • Qualified (ideally England & Wales) lawyer with post-qualification experience in international finance transactions of the types referred to above with a top international law firm, or equivalent in-house experience
  • Experience ideally of derivatives, structured products, and/or securitisation, but more general capital markets or finance experience will also be considered
  • Experience of cross-border work
  • Experience of drafting, reviewing, and negotiating legal documents and agreements
  • An adaptable person who is a fast learner and team-player who can work effectively with colleagues at all levels
  • Excellent attention to detail with an understanding of risk and quality control
  • Good organisational skills and experience in transaction management, including an ability to juggle multiple matters and tight deadlines
  • Excellent academic track record
  • Excellent client relationship skills and experience of business development
Career Advancement

Ashurst is committed to developing our team. We will actively work with you to establish relevant career development plans and monitor progress against your career goals. Our firm also has a wonderful program of development activities to help you grow.

A Lawyer is part of the practising lawyer role structure in Ashurst Advance. Progression through the different roles within this structure will occur at different times for different people based on their experience, exposure, and performance - progression is not based on time in role. Continuous conversations with your supervisor to share insights on your contribution/impact and to set goals to support your progression will facilitate your continued growth.

Background Checks

In order to comply with regulatory and client requirements, Ashurst will undertake appropriate vetting of staff.
