Your role

Are you an experienced derivatives lawyer? Are you familiar with fund-linked and equity-linked products? Do you enjoy working directly with the business in advising them on a wide range of legal issues?

We are looking for an Equity Derivatives and Structured Products Lawyer like you to:

• provide in-house counsel to our Global Markets businesses, focussing on equity-linked, fund-linked and commodity-linked products in both derivative and securitized formats
• act as a trusted advisor to our businesses whilst being a “control function” and to provide challenge in order to minimize legal and regulatory risk
• liaise with other internal functions at UBS (including tax, compliance and credit), external counsel and other service providers at a UK and global scale
• keep abreast of current regulatory issues (such as EMIR, AIFMD, MIDFID II and EUBR) and their impact on structured transactions, derivatives and SPVs

Your team

You will be part of our Global Markets EMEA legal team within Group General Counsel (GGC), based in London, Frankfurt or Krakow. We are responsible for supporting our firm’s Investment Bank Global Markets EMEA business with legal and regulatory advice in respect of its sales and trading client services. Our function handles a wide range of products including standard OTC trading and bespoke structures, covering interest rates, FX, equities and also consider any regulatory issues that may arise.

 

Diversity helps us grow, together. That’s why we are committed to fostering and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. It strengthens our business and brings value to our clients.

Your expertise

• fully qualified lawyer in England or any similar jurisdiction
• experience of standard trade documentation (particularly ISDA and SPV programmes)
• strong technical drafting and communication skills as well as broad understanding of the current regulatory background
• team player and "can do" attitude – willingness to step
• willingness to challenge the status quo, to become a trusted advisor, and to act as a balanced "control" function whilst still maintaining effective relationships with the front office and other functions within the bank
