7+ years | Montréal or Toronto (Hybrid)

Our client, the National Bank of Canada (“the Bank”), is the 6th largest bank in Canada and the leading bank in Québec. Founded in 1859 by a group of businessmen from Québec City, the Bank, headquartered in Montréal, employs nearly 30,000 people worldwide.

To continue to effectively meet demand, they are seeking a lawyer with several years of experience in securities law and capital markets.

Reporting to the co-head of Governance, M&A, and Investments, your role will focus on two main areas: transactional and governance aspects of the Bank programs. On a daily basis, you will be involved in advising teams on financing through debt and covered bonds issuance, securitization, etc. You will also be charged with ensuring compliance of financing programs with applicable legislation and identifying risks that the Bank may face as an issuer in public and private markets alike. You will advise various stakeholders, including the treasury, on legal considerations pertinent to their activities and you will participate in internal and external committees, as well as special projects, related to securities.

Are you seeking a different type of practice, that is very different from the parameters of private practice? Do you thrive in dynamic work environments where your leadership and creativity are put to use? Are you passionate about the finance and financial markets industry? If you have experience in securities law, and are a bilingual member of either the Québec, Ontario, or New York bar, we would like to speak with you. Ref. #32795
