The opportunity
Signatus are partnering with a leading commercial law firm to hire a Senior Associate into its Structured Finance and Capital Markets practice.
This is a strong move for a finance lawyer who wants greater ownership of sophisticated Irish and international transactions, direct client exposure and a clear route to further progression within a highly regarded team.
You will work across securitisation, structured finance, capital markets, fund finance, CLOs and other complex credit structures.
What you will own
• Lead significant workstreams across domestic and cross border structured finance transactions
• Advise banks, non bank lenders, investment managers, corporate issuers and institutional investors on complex financing structures
• Work on securitisations involving mortgage, auto loan and other asset backed portfolios
• Advise on transactions involving Irish Section 110 companies, CLO structures and direct lending platforms
• Take ownership of subscription line, NAV and hybrid fund finance transactions
• Build trusted client relationships while mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to the continued growth of the practice
What we are looking for – Must haves
• Qualified Irish Solicitor – • Typically 5+ years PQE gained within a strong finance practice
• Meaningful experience in structured finance, securitisation, debt capital markets, fund finance or closely related financing work
• Strong drafting, technical and transaction management capability
• Commercial judgement and confidence dealing directly with clients
• Ability to manage complex workstreams independently while working effectively within larger deal teams
Helpful but not essential
• Experience across more than one structured finance product area
• Exposure to mentoring junior lawyers or supporting business development activity
Why this role
• High quality domestic and international transaction exposure
• Significant responsibility rather than a narrow execution role
• Strong platform for lawyers looking to deepen their structured finance specialism

• Discretionary bonus, pension, health insurance contributions, wellbeing support, life assurance and additional workplace benefits
