The posting

This is an exciting opportunity for a Managing Associate (5+ PQE) to join our growing digital assets practice within our market-leading Structured Finance & Derivatives team, based in either our Bristol or London office.

The practice advises on transactional mandates involving digital assets, as well as the regulatory and structuring issues relating to cryptoassets and tokenisation. It sits within our wider SFD group, one of the leading practices in the market, which advises a broad range of clients on the full spectrum of structured finance, structured products, derivatives and securitisation transactions.

As a core part of the firm’s Emerging Technologies Group, we advise on the structuring and regulatory issues posed by distributed ledger technology. The leading partner also co-heads the firm’s work on tokenisation, offering the successful candidate genuine exposure to some of the most innovative and fast-developing work in the market.

This is a particularly exciting opportunity for a senior lawyer looking to take a leading role in a growing practice. The successful candidate will have significant scope to develop their profile, lead on transactions and work closely with clients, while playing an important role in the continued growth of the practice. The growth of the team also offers significant opportunities for longer-term career progression.

Main duties & responsibilities

  • Lead transactions and take day-to-day responsibility for the delivery of matters, working closely with the partner and wider team.
  • Advise on transactional mandates relating to digital assets, building on a strong structured finance or derivatives foundation.

  • Draft, review and negotiate transaction and structured finance documentation for an international client base of cryptoasset firms, banks, asset managers, funds and corporates.
  • Take an active role with clients, including leading discussions, providing commercial input and developing strong client relationships.
  • Work as part of cross-practice, cross-border teams, collaborating with colleagues across our Bristol, London and global offices.
  • Supervise and support associates and trainees and take an active role in developing junior members of the team.
  • Play an active role in marketing and business development, helping to support the continued growth of the digital assets practice.

Person specification

  • 5+ PQE, gained at a leading City or equivalent firm.
  • A strong structured finance or derivatives background is essential, either in a transactional or regulatory setting.
  • Genuine interest in crypto, digital assets, tokenisation and emerging technologies.
  • Strong technical, drafting and analytical skills, with the ability to lead transactions and take responsibility for the day-to-day management of matters.
  • Strong client-facing skills and confidence taking an active role in client discussions.
  • A self-starter who is comfortable helping to build and shape a growing practice.
  • Strong interest in marketing and business development.
  • Ability to supervise and support the development of more junior lawyers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
