    Description

    Exceptional trading emerges where human intuition meets frictionless experimentation. Our platform and processes enable traders to rapidly investigate ideas, identify emergent patterns, and convert insights into live strategies. This synthesis creates a flywheel of discovery — the key to our pursuit of excellence.

    The Role:

    We are looking for a driven Legal Associate to join Summit Securities Group. This is a position designed for an attorney earlier in their career who wants to solve meaningful legal problems while gaining broad exposure to the end-to-end operations of a trading firm. In this role, you will contribute directly to the foundational frameworks that protect our trading lifecycle.

    You will gain exposure to two primary areas:

    • Commercial & Trading Agreements: Supporting the business by drafting, reviewing, and managing the lifecycle of trading, vendor, and technology contracts.
    • Regulatory & Corporate Governance: Assisting with the maintenance of the firm's compliance framework, monitoring regulatory developments, and supporting corporate governance initiatives.

    Responsibilities:

    • Draft & Review Contracts: You will help ensure our commercial relationships remain sound by drafting and reviewing NDAs, vendor agreements, and brokerage contracts, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
    • Support Regulatory Compliance: Assist in navigating complex regulatory landscapes by researching and monitoring developments from the SEC, FINRA, and CFTC to ensure firm-wide compliance.
    • Manage Legal Risk: You will tackle complex challenges—ranging from maintaining corporate records to assisting with internal risk assessments and audits.
    • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with stakeholders across business development, trading, and operations to facilitate seamless legal integration into business processes.
    • Obsess Over Detail: You will uphold high standards of accuracy in legal documentation and research, ensuring that advice given to the business is reliable and actionable.
    • Uphold Professional Standards: Champion best practices in document management and process efficiency to ensure our legal operations remain robust and responsive.

    You Bring:

    • Experience: 3+ years of professional legal experience, ideally within a law firm or financial institution.
    • Education: A Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and admission to the bar in New York.
    • Core Competencies:
    • Contract Proficiency: Strong command of contract drafting and negotiation. You can write clean, concise, and effective legal provisions.
    • Legal Fundamentals: Excellent grasp of corporate law, commercial transactions, and legal research methodologies. You know how to identify risks and propose practical solutions.
    • Bonus (Broker-Dealer Fluency): While not required, familiarity with the regulatory environment of a broker-dealer (SEC/FINRA rules) is a strong plus. The ability to understand trading operations and interface with compliance frameworks is highly valuable.

    Ideal Profile:

    • Technical Curiosity: You have a relentless drive to understand how the business works under the hood. You aren't satisfied with just reviewing a document—you want to know the "why" behind the deal.
    • Attention to Detail: In trading and law, accuracy is paramount. You take pride in producing error-free work and handling edge cases gracefully.
    • Collaborative Orientation: You are energized by working closely with colleagues, communicating clearly, and focusing on collective success.
    • Driven by Impact: You take deep satisfaction in seeing your work have a direct, measurable effect on our operations.

    We Offer:

    The Base Salary Range is $150,000 - $200,000. These ranges are representative of the starting base salaries for this role at Summit Securities Group. Which range a candidate fits into and where a candidate falls in the range will be based on job related factors such as relevant experience, skills, and location. These ranges represent Base Salary only, which is just one element of our total compensation. The ranges stated do not include other factors of total compensation such as bonuses.

    We offer competitive compensation packages, 401k matching, gender neutral parental leave, and full medical, dental and vision insurance. We believe that working together in person helps solve the complex challenges we solve. We require employees to be in the office 4 days per week. In-office benefits include lunch stipends, fully stocked kitchens, happy hours, a great location, and amazing colleagues.

    Our top priority is our people. We invest in a culture that promotes togetherness, helping each other through challenges and celebrating each other's successes. We believe that modern workplaces succeed by having diverse high-performance workforces — in ideas, in cultures, and in experiences. We put in the effort to make such a workplace a daily reality and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
