About us

DRS is a legal consultancy specialising in commercial contracts relating to derivatives, financing and professional agreements. Trusted by banks, asset managers, hedge funds and trading firms across the globe, we provide solutions that deliver rapid and efficient negotiation and remediation of document portfolios.

Established in 2009, we have approximately 100 members of staff, operating both on-site and off-site from our bright and modern offices in London and Newcastle. Our market leading team is led by our directors who all have extensive legal and industry expertise within financial services.

You will also have the opportunity to be considered for a training contract once in the role, should you meet the stipulated criteria.

We have vacancies across numerous teams, offering both permanent and fixed term contracts (with scope to be made permanent thereafter) in our Newcastle office.
