UK-Qualified Capital Markets Associate – Leading US Firm in London - 2–4 PQE 

A top-tier US law firm in London is looking to hire a UK-qualified Capital Markets Associate (2–4 PQE) to join its high-profile team.

This is a rare opportunity to join a globally integrated capital markets practice that advises on both UK/European and US securities law matters, across equity and debt transactions.

What You’ll Be Working On:

  • UK equity capital markets transactions, including LSE listings and FCA engagement

  • Cross-border transactions with both UK and US regulatory aspects (e.g. 144A/SEC-registered offerings)

  • A mix of equity and debt work, including opportunities to gain experience in investment grade and high yield deals

  • International matters involving issuers across Europe, the US, and emerging markets

The Ideal Candidate:

  • 2–4 years' PQE with strong UK ECM experience

  • Familiarity with the UK Listing Rules, DTRs, UK MAR, and FCA/LSE processes

  • Interested in broadening into debt capital markets and international deals

  • Strong academic background and collaborative mindset

Why This Team?

  • High-profile, complex transactions at the forefront of the London market

  • A tight-knit, long-standing team of capital markets lawyers known for mentoring and collaboration

  • Real variety – work on listings, de-SPACs, GDRs, and cross-border financings

  • Genuine opportunity to develop both UK and US regulatory expertise

This is an excellent opportunity for a UK-qualified ECM associate looking to take the next step in a globally recognised practice, with strong partner access and a track record of associate development.
