Interim Derivatives Lawyer – Netting & Collateral Enforceability - Remote working
Our client, a top city law firm, is looking to appoint an experienced lawyer on an interim basis to support a specialist legal team responsible for reviewing complex netting and collateral enforceability opinions across multiple jurisdictions.
This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer with a strong derivatives, structured finance, banking or financial markets background to work on highly technical legal issues within a sophisticated global environment.
The Role
You will be responsible for reviewing and analysing complex legal opinions and memoranda concerning netting and collateral enforceability, providing clear commentary and legal assessment to key stakeholders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
