Job Description
We're partnering with a high-growth business operating at the intersection of global trade, inventory and working capital solutions, supporting major corporates across multiple regions who are looking to add a new lawyer to their team.
This is a senior in-house role for a lawyer who enjoys being close to complex cross-border commercial transactions - leading negotiations, driving execution, and advising on structure and risk in a fast-paced environment.
What you'll do- Lead the legal execution of international trade transactions, including drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts and managing deal completion end-to-end
- Analyse proposed deal structures, identify legal and non-legal risks, and present practical options and recommendations to senior stakeholders
- Partner closely with credit risk, operations and compliance to ensure smooth delivery and escalation of key issues where needed
- Support broader work including funding arrangements (securitisations, asset sales, loan financing), product development initiatives, and delivering internal training
- Around 7-10 years PQE (flexible), England & Wales qualified, with strong training from a top-tier firm and ideally some in-house exposure
- Strong commercial + international trade contracts experience is essential (this is not a purely trade finance role)
- Confident leading transactions and building relationships across internal teams and clients internationally/time zones
- Commercial, solutions-led, able to explain complex issues in plain English and stand behind your recommendations
They specifically need strong commercial and international trade contracts experience, rather than a purely trade finance background.
The team is well-established, collaborative and highly supportive, and the role offers competitive compensation.
I've worked with this team for a few years and they are really high quality.
Please get in touch asap with your CV for consideration.
