Derivatives Legal Counsel (VP)
Investment Bank
London
A leading global investment bank is looking for a commercially minded, technically strong lawyer to join its Derivatives and Structured Finance Legal team as Vice President. You'll provide legal support across the EMEA derivatives business, with a focus on negotiating and advising on ISDA documentation (Master Agreements, CSAs, IM/collateral, Resolution Stay Protocols, cleared derivatives) alongside broader OTC derivatives and finance-linked transactions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a business-facing role working closely with trading, treasury, credit risk, and collateral management teams, and covering legal and regulatory developments including EMIR, UK EMIR, Dodd-Frank, MiFID II, SFTR, and CDSR. Experience with GMRA/GMSLA and securities financing transactions is advantageous but not essential.
What we're looking for:
- Qualified solicitor, 4-8 years' PQE, from an international bank or law firm derivatives/structured finance practice
- Strong ISDA documentation expertise
- Excellent negotiation, drafting, and stakeholder management skills
- Sound commercial judgment and ability to work independently
- Collaborative, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
