About the Role

The Company is in search of a General Counsel to join its executive team. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing strategic legal guidance and managing the global legal team. This role requires extensive experience in addressing regulatory and corporate legal issues, particularly within the financial services industry, with a focus on prime brokers and institutional trading businesses. A deep understanding of digital assets and the evolving regulatory landscape is also essential. The General Counsel will oversee compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, develop and implement policies to mitigate legal risks and advise on corporate governance matters. Additionally, the role involves managing litigation, providing legal advice on business strategies, and supporting M&A activities. Applicants for the General Counsel position at the company should have a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, be admitted to the bar in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, and have a minimum of 12 years of legal experience, with a significant background in the financial services industry. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in advising on complex transactions and compliance matters, particularly those related to institutional trading, including equities, derivatives, and digital assets. Experience with private credit markets, corporate governance, and leading a legal team is also required. Familiarity with the regulatory environments for digital assets, both domestic and international, and experience working with fintech companies or startups in the digital asset space is highly desirable. Strong leadership skills, the ability to mentor a team, and a strong network within the legal and regulatory community are additional assets.
