# Legal Assistant [Trade Nation](https://www.jorb.ai/firms/trade-nation.md) · London · United Kingdom · [Operations](https://www.jorb.ai/jobs/operations.md) Trade Nation is hiring a Legal Assistant in London. Posted 2026-07-24; applications close 2026-09-22. **Apply**: https://apply.workable.com/trade-nation/j/742FD82B08 Posted 2d ago. ## Role details ## Legal Assistant We are looking for a bright, capable Legal Assistant to support our Legal & HR team within a multi-jurisdiction financial services business. This is a hands-on role suited to a graduate with around 1–2 years of experience, ideally in fintech or another regulated environment, where you have already been working in a legal, contract, or compliance role and want to broaden your skill set. You do not need to be a qualified lawyer, and we are not necessarily looking for someone with many years of experience. We are looking for someone legally minded and genuinely interested in how a regulated business operates. You should be well-organised, able to work quickly and accurately across a varied workload, and prepared to support day-to-day legal operations. In return, you will gain broad exposure across contracts, regulatory support, and legal administration, with real room to grow. ## Who we are Trade Nation is a global CFD and spread betting broker. We help traders make better decisions through clear market insights, transparent pricing, and a fairer approach to trading. Since 2014, we’ve grown into a market-leading, low-cost broker with our headquarters in London and offices across Europe, South Africa, Asia-Pacific, and key offshore regions including the Caribbean and Indian Ocean. Our platform is available in 14 languages, making it accessible to traders worldwide. Built on transparency and trust, and driven by our people, our focus is simple: helping customers trade more effectively. We do that by keeping costs low, cutting unnecessary complexity, and using technology to put traders first. ## Your team Our London office is our headquarters, a short walk from Liverpool Street on the eastern edge of the City. It offers a modern working environment with spacious communal areas, a bike shed, and showers.
