(Senior) Legal Counsel Wholesale Banking and Finance (Europe & Africa)

As Legal Counsel you will support the Europe (and a very small part of Africa) region in a challenging role with your high-quality skills and expertise.

You and your job
Imagine working in a team that contributes to the growth and strategy of the Europe & Africa Region by supporting the activities of the region with high-quality legal expertise and managing legal risks related to these activities. This includes analyzing and help developing products, services, or transactions, identifying and addressing the associated (legal) risks and issues, and sharing your knowledge with our colleagues over a broad range of business and staff departments. You can make the difference.

An average working day
Are you curious about what would be on your to-do list on an average working day? Your day-to-day activities include:
• Keeping control of the legal risks and legal framework for the bank with respect to financing structures;
• Being a sparring partner for your fellow team members and colleagues in various business departments, both within the Region Europe and Africa and beyond;
• Accurately identifying potential issues and risks;
• Drafting of legal documentation;
• Coordinating and overseeing transactions;
• Keeping up with the latest legislation and applying it in our daily practice;
• Cooperating with colleagues from different disciplines (e.g. Compliance and Risk) throughout the bank.

Focus on this position
You will be focused on working on transactional support for asset based finance transactions (receivables finance and securitizations) and possibly other lending business lines.

You and your talent
Customer focus, pro-activeness, organizational sensitivity, and decisiveness are clearly essential for this position. In addition, we are looking for the following qualifications:
• Masters of Law, preferably Dutch (or alternatively English) law qualified;
• At least 3 years of relevant work experience, preferably in banking and finance or asset based finance and securitizations;
• Excellent command of the English language.
