Harry Jho LLC is seeking Attorneys to join the Funds practice in our Firm’s Orlando and Miami offices, representing buy-side clients (hedge funds, asset managers, family offices) in negotiating their prime brokerage, repo, stock loan, futures, ISDA, and related documentation.
The ideal candidate is 3-4 years out of law school and looking to transition from a biglaw/mid-law firm, in-house legal role, or government agency. We are seeking individuals open to making a career change to negotiating prime brokerage and securities finance documentation.

- Genuine motivation to develop a career in a new practice area from the ground up and commit to a steep learning curve.
- Strong communicators who are comfortable in an open (trading-floor style) environment. If you are uncomfortable with narrating your workflow and real-time coordination with a team, and prefer to reach conclusions in a black box, this role is not the right fit.
