About the Role

US Capital Markets Associate (4-6 PQE) – US Firm – London

£220K - £290K

Our client, a prestigious US law firm, is seeking a talented US Capital Markets Associate (4-6 PQE) to join its growing London team. This is an excellent opportunity to work on sophisticated, bespoke transactions across equity and debt capital markets, with a strong focus on sponsor-side representations. The team handles high-value, complex deals, offering broad exposure without the constraints of a volume-based model.

Why Join?

Work on a mix of registered US securities transactions, high-yield debt, IPOs, tender offers, and liability management.

The firm has a strong client base of private equity sponsors and issuers, providing meaningful exposure to sophisticated transactions and direct interaction with management teams.

Associates work across both equity and debt capital markets, gaining broad expertise rather than being restricted to a single area.

Unlike high-volume firms, this practice focuses on tailored, strategic transactions with a high level of partner engagement.

While still a high-performing US firm, the team could offer a better balance than other volume-driven teams.

Lean Team, Strong Progression – A small, tight-knit group of partners and associates means significant responsibility, direct mentorship, and a clear path for career growth.

Ideal Candidate:

PQE: 4-6 years post-qualification experience.

Experience: Strong background in US securities transactions, high-yield and investment-grade debt, IPO experience, and Exchange Act (34 Act) and Securities Act (33 Act) work.

Balanced Skillset: Ideally, the candidate will have a mix of equity and debt capital markets experience (not solely high-yield).

US Qualification: US-qualified lawyers with strong capital markets experience
