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. Prior experience in trading documentation is not necessary, which makes this a rare opportunity. We are looking for long-term hires whom we can invest in.

Associates at our Firm are responsible for supervising deal flow and ensuring quality control. In order to be successful, you will need to master both a new practice area and the unique operational model we apply in our practice. The first year is a learning curve. It is steep, and it is real.

Who we are: Founded in 2007, Harry Jho LLC is the leading law firm in the prime brokerage and securities finance industry. We have over 50 professionals, and a management team with a combined 80+ years of experience in this industry. We represent the largest and most sophisticated global financial institutions and hedge funds in negotiating the agreements that govern their trading relationships. We have been actively growing our practice and now have offices in New York, Orlando, and Miami. You can read more about us at our website and more about Harry Jho by listening to his interview with Celina Lee here: we operate: Unlike most law firms, the core of our team is not Attorneys, it is Analysts. We hire smart recent graduates from all academic backgrounds and train them intensively for 60–90 days. When seasoned, they function at our firm like Associates at traditional firms. Associate hires will initially go through the same training process as our Analysts, then transition to a supervisory role within the Firm's tiered review structure.

Responsibilities: After a training period (approximately 3-6 months), you will:

• Negotiate contracts between our clients (leading hedge funds) and the largest Dealers on the street.
• Support client relationship management under the direction of the Partners, with a path toward independent client coverage.
• Function as the quality control layer between our Analysts, Partners, and clients.
• Supervise deal flow.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• 3-4 years of legal experience at a law firm, government agency, or in-house legal department. Prior experience in trading documentation or securities finance is not required. If you were looking for a way into a career in the global markets industry, this is your chance.
• JD from a T30 law school with an excellent academic record.
• 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.
• Humble and ready to learn from people who have been doing this work for 15–20+ years but may not be Attorneys.
• Adept at implementing administrative and managerial directives.
• Mathematical attention to detail in document preparation.

This is a high-intensity role. Attorneys work approximately 200 hours per month. This is biglaw work in a boutique firm setting.

• Submit resume and cover letter to

Compensation:

• Biglaw scale for your class year.
• We offer health, dental, vision insurance and 401K with Cash Balance Plan.
