JPモルガン：In-House Counsel, Securities Transactions (Markets) (Assistant Vice President / Vice President)
仕事内容
Build an exceptional legal team with us at the forefront of global finance. Working closely with business, compliance, controls, and legal colleagues overseas, you will support securities and derivatives transactions and related initiatives so they operate lawfully and effectively—from early-stage structuring through closing and post-closing matters. By engaging end-to-end on live matters as part of a team, you will strengthen your Japanese-law analysis and documentation skills while developing practical expertise in markets transactions and the mindset needed to succeed in a large, international organization. You will work side-by-side with four experienced securities lawyers and four paralegals with deep institutional knowledge, with additional on-the-job learning and mentorship opportunities from global legal colleagues. English is used daily (emails, drafting/reviewing agreements and other documents, and meetings), and senior lawyers will support you through reviews and joining calls so you can expand your coverage in line with your skill level.
As an In-House Counsel, Securities Transactions (Markets) (Assistant Vice President / Vice President) in the Markets Legal team, you will focus on Japan and cross-border transactional documentation and regulatory advice for financial markets activities.
Our team consists of four lawyers (all from leading law firms) and four paralegals, collectively covering (i) equities, equity derivatives, and listed futures; (ii) bonds and rates/FX derivatives; (iii) commodity derivatives; (iv) master agreements such as the ISDA Master Agreement; (v) securitized products, repack notes, Medium Term Note (MTN) programs, and fund transactions; (vi) credit-related transactions (e.g., loan trades); (vii) custody services; (viii) regulatory matters relating to these transactions; and (ix) ancillary agreements (e.g., Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and various service/outsourcing agreements).
We staff each area with at least two lawyers and encourage lawyers to cover multiple areas over time to achieve high quality and speed, continuous development and fairness, and a sustainable work-life balance.
You will be involved broadly across the full business lifecycle—from early structuring discussions through negotiation and post-transaction follow-up—building both transactional execution capability and the analytical rigor needed to help ensure new initiatives and issues are handled lawfully and appropriately.
English communication is essential, and even if you are not fully confident at the outset, you can build experience and confidence gradually with senior support.
