2975 - Jr. Financial Svcs & Securities Enforcement Assoc.

The Richmond office of McGuireWoods is seeking an associate for their Financial Services & Securities Enforcement Department. The financial services industry has long been one of the most complex, highly regulated and carefully scrutinized business segments in the world. The collapse of the credit markets and the mortgage foreclosure crisis have created unprecedented challenges for banks and other financial services institutions, not the least of which has been a tidal wave of lawsuits and government investigations attacking fundamental business practices. In addition, banks have been forced to both anticipate and react swiftly to a wide array of new regulations.

McGuireWoods’ long history of representation of financial institutions has prepared the firm well to stand with its clients in meeting these multifaceted and unprecedented challenges. Because we understand the business, our financial services litigation team is called upon by some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions to meet these challenges. Along with excellent benefits, McGuireWoods offers our attorneys a competitive salary with hours and merit bonus opportunities, billable hours credit for pro bono work, and a hybrid in office/remote option allowing flexibility and work-life balance.

• Qualified candidates will have 1-3 years of litigation experience following a federal judicial clerkship.
• Experience with financial services and/or class action litigation and court experience would be considered a plus.
• Strong writing and research skills, excellent academic credentials and admission to the Virginia bar are required.
