## Description As our Banking / Financing Legal Counsel, you will work side by side with our corporate counsel and directly under the Head of M&A and Finance Legal Counsel, based in Paris. In close collaboration with our Finance and Business teams, you will be instrumental in structuring, drafting, and negotiating the financing transactions that fuel Mistral's external growth — from compute infrastructure and data center investments to strategic company acquisitions. ## Missions Structure, draft, negotiate, and close transaction documentation on non-dilutive financing transactions, including corporate loans, asset-backed financings, and project finance deals supporting our infrastructure and compute investments. Act as the primary legal point of contact for banking and financing counterparties, working with LMA-standard documentation and bespoke structures alike. Advise on financing structures for data center and compute infrastructure projects. Coordinate with external law firms on cross-border financing structures and manage multi-jurisdictional transaction teams. Partner daily with the Finance team (Treasury, FP&A) to ensure financing solutions are aligned with Mistral's capital strategy and operational needs. Collaborate with M&A, Compute, and Business teams to support deal-specific financing structures. Provide practical, hands-on legal guidance that enables the business to move fast while limiting legal risks. Build and maintain internal templates, precedents, and guidelines for financing documentation. Support on ancillary legal topics as needed, including corporate compliance, insurance, and Sapin II-related matters. ## Profil recherché Bachelor degree or above (LLB, LLM, Juris Doctor preferred) from an accredited law school in France or another EU country. Admission to practice law in at least one other jurisdiction, in particular in the USA, would be a plus. A minimum of 7 years of relevant legal experience, including a minimum of 4 years in an international law firm. Proven track record in structuring and negotiating non-dilutive financing deals, including corporate loans, bridge facilities, asset-backed and project finance transactions.
