Part of our broader Capital Markets and M&A team, your role will involve supporting (1) our Equity Capital Markets (ECM), Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and UK Corporate Broking (UKCB) businesses, and (2) our Debt Capital Markets (DCM) business, in each case, in the EMEA region (other than in Germany, Austria and Switzerland). You will also support our syndicate and client coverage teams and liaise closely with other infrastructure functions. You will assist our businesses to manage exposure to legal, regulatory and reputational risk.

Your key responsibilities include:
- Your support for the ECM business will include advising in relation to initial public offerings and follow-on offerings, private placements, rights issues, block trades, tender offers, buy-back programmes and exchange offers and equity-linked transactions (including convertible and exchangeable bond buy-back transactions).
- Your support for the M&A business will include advising in relation to private and public M&A transactions, including transactions subject to the UK takeover code, and the rendering of U.S.-style fairness opinions.
- Your support for the UKCB business will include advising in relation to the engagement of Deutsche Bank as a corporate broker, the engagement of Deutsche Bank as a sponsor in relation to ECM or M&A transactions, the engagement of Deutsche Bank as a NOMAD, and certain share dealing transactions.
- Your support for the DCM business will include advising in relation to Euro Medium Term Note Programmes (and drawdowns), standalone bonds, liability management transactions (including consent solicitations, exchange offers and tender offers) and SEC shelf takedowns, in each case, for both emerging market and investment grade clients.
Your skills and experience:
- Excellent technical legal knowledge and skills (including contractual analysis and drafting), plus broad capital markets and corporate finance experience (with a focus on DCM and/or ECM), either in private practice at a leading law firm and/or at a leading financial institution.
- Legally qualified in England and Wales, the U.S. or another common law jurisdiction.
- You will have an interest in, and an understanding of, the current legal and regulatory issues and market practices affecting international investment banks and the conduct of the above businesses.
- Be able to exercise good judgement and have demonstrated a thoughtful and practical approach to problem-solving.
- Have excellent oral and written communication skills.
