 Our client is a privately owned, technology-driven trading business operating across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They run a lean, flat structure that sits between a startup and a mature firm: minimal bureaucracy, smart people, and significant individual ownership.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is a senior, hands-on role for a lawyer who can operate independently, partner directly with management, and grow into broader influence as crypto operations scale.
 
 
 
 
 
 Role is Five days in office initially, with openness to a hybrid arrangement once the lawyer is fully embedded.

 <li>
 Advise on regulatory frameworks relevant to HFT, proprietary trading, market conduct, and trading infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions
 </li>
 <li>
 Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial and trading-related agreements, including exchange access and connectivity agreements, technology, data and infrastructure contracts, and counterparty, broker, and vendor arrangements
 </li>
 <li>
 Identify legal, regulatory, and contractual risks early and propose practical, business-oriented mitigation
 </li>
 <li>
 Work closely with the Cyprus tax and legal team and the Dubai-based crypto compliance function
 </li>
 <li>
 Partner with trading, technology, market making, business relations, and operations teams across geographies
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 What we are looking for
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 10+ years of relevant legal experience, ideally across proprietary or high-frequency trading, financial markets infrastructure, fintech, or digital assets. Consulting backgrounds with strong corporate, commercial, or banking law focus will also be considered
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong crypto-related legal experience is a significant advantage; HFT experience is the other primary filter
 </li>
 <li>
 Deep understanding of financial markets, trading mechanics, and technology-driven businesses
 </li>
 <li>
 Excellent drafting, negotiation, and English-language communication skills
 </li>
 <li>
 A proactive, solution-oriented mindset, comfortable owning issues from identification through resolution rather than waiting for direction
 </li>
 <li>
 Commercial pragmatism balanced with legal rigour
 </li>
 <li>
 Senior enough to operate without supervision today, with the potential to mentor and grow into broader leadership as the function scales
 </li>
 </ul>
