Job Description

DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world.

Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets. We have also leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets.

We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters–it's how we do it. DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.

We are seeking an Associate General Counsel to support the Cumberland business in our London office.

  • Transactions Manage legal aspects of joint ventures, trading transactions and other complex transactions. Advise internal business teams on all stages of transactions from initial discussions, to initial documentation and definitive documentation and then ongoing post-execution support. Lead legal negotiations with third parties. Coordinate with internal subject matter experts, internal support groups and outside counsel.
  • Corporate Governance Assist with forming and maintaining entities in Europe within the DRW corporate umbrella, including drafting intercompany agreements and managing corporate governance matters as needed.

Required Skills & Experience:
