Requirements

  •  J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Connecticut bar preferred but not required (admission to at least one jurisdiction required) 
  • 0-2 years relevant experience (banking, lending, regulatory, fintech, corporate, or securities exposure a plus)
  • Strong research, writing, and communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment
  • Collaborative, proactive, business-minded approach

Competitive Benefits
