Legal Counsel - Documentation Negotiator

ZSA Legal Recruitment

3-7 Years | Montreal or Toronto

  • Are you interested in financial markets, derivatives and capital markets transactions?
  • Do you want to strengthen your expertise in negotiating complex trading documentation?

Read on!

Our client, Societe Generale , is a leading European Bank with approximately 110,000 employees serving 27 million clients across 58 countries worldwide. For over 160 years, Societe Generale has supported economic development by providing its corporate, institutional, and individual clients with a broad range of value-added advisory and financial solutions.

Societe Generale is seeking a Legal Counsel to join its team in its Montreal’s office.

Reporting to a manager based outside Canada and working closely with teams across North America, you will play a key role in the negotiation, drafting, and execution of trading and financial markets documentation. In particular, you will be involved in negotiating and managing master trading agreements and related documentation in connection with derivatives, securities financing transactions, securities lending arrangements, and other financial products. Your responsibilities will include reviewing corporate and organizational documents, conducting legal due diligence, and analyzing counterparty comments and alternative forms of documentation. You will also work closely with legal, credit, front office, and collateral teams to resolve legal, risk, operational and transactional issues arising during negotiations. In addition, you will liaise with external counsel on complex matters and contribute to various legal, regulatory, and operational initiatives that support the organization’s financial markets activities.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a sophisticated financial markets environment, to work on complex cross-border transactions, and to gain exposure to both Canadian and U.S. legal and regulatory frameworks.

Candidates should have at least three years of relevant experience in financial markets, derivatives, securities financing transactions, trading documentation or related areas, gained in a law firm, financial institution, or corporate legal department. Do you combine strong legal and commercial judgment with excellent communication and relationship-building skills? You must be a member of the Bar of a Canadian province to qualify. The ability to communicate in English, both orally and in writing, is a requirement. French is a strong asset. Réf. : #34404
