About Market Securities
Market Securities is one of the world's largest independent financial intermediaries, founded in 2008, with 300+ professionals serving institutional clients across asset classes. Alongside New York, we have a deep presence in Europe (London, Paris, Madrid, Monaco, Geneva) and Asia (Dubai, Hong Kong), giving our US legal finance business direct access to European and Asian institutional capital.
The role
Lead our US credit-focused legal finance business: originate, structure and place capital markets transactions for law firms.
The group has other legal finance desks. This one is independent and reports directly to the firm leadership.

- Structure deals from a credit investor's perspective: collateral, covenants, cash-flow waterfalls, pricing
- Place transactions with private credit funds, insurers, banks and family offices
- Lead execution through to closing: diligence, documentation, investor negotiation
- Build the US franchise and team
Requirements
- Must be based in the US
- 15+ years in structured credit, specialty finance, leveraged finance or legal finance
- Proven origination record with law firms, or a transferable book of credit investors
- Closed transactions as lead structurer or arranger
- FINRA Series 7/63/79, or ability to obtain them
