Legal Counsel, Global Banking Legal Japan

Are you an experienced lawyer who wants to be close to the business and advise on investment banking transactions with Japan and cross-border dimensions? We are looking for a legal counsel to support UBS’s Global Banking business in Japan, working alongside senior business stakeholders and legal colleagues on transactions, legal and regulatory issues, negotiations and strategic matters.

This is a role for someone who enjoys combining technical legal expertise with commercial judgement, and who is interested in contributing to a regional and global platform while remaining focused on Japan-related Global Banking matters. We’re looking for a legal counsel to:

• provide in-house legal support to UBS’s Global Banking business as the primary focus of the role, covering transactions and business originated from, or targeting, Japan, including transactions executed outside Japan
• work closely with Global Banking deal teams and control functions, providing practical, commercial and risk-aware advice on legal frameworks, transaction structuring, issues, negotiations and documentation
• advise on M&A advisory, capital markets and other Global Banking matters, with opportunities to engage with strategic and business-facing questions as transactions develop
• where relevant and aligned with your expertise and interests, collaborate with legal colleagues supporting other areas of UBS, including Global Markets and Global Wealth Management
