#MeetFinTrU: David Scullion shares his story of his professional development during his career with FinTrU Legal

Sarah Leaver - FinTrU Associate: “Having no prior experience in the Financial Services Industry, working within FinTrU Legal has enabled me to develop both my subject matter knowledge and practical experience. Working on behalf of a client situated in New York, I have gained exposure analysing and negotiating on a breadth of client documentation, including: ISDA Master Agreements, Credit Support Annexes, Guarantees and Ancillary documentation. This is a proactive and dynamic role in which professional development is continually encouraged and supported.”

Maria McKay - FinTrU Associate: “In my team we work as an extension of the NY documentation team and have developed a great relationship with our stakeholders. We negotiate an array of derivatives trading agreements and deal directly with the counterparties, being responsible for managing those relationships as well. In the time I've worked at FinTrU, I've noticed a clear progression in the complexity of the work I do, and have had many opportunities to take initiative, build my knowledge and further develop my skills.”

Stephen Bryans - FinTrU Associate: “In my current legal role in FinTrU, as an ISDA negotiator for a Tier 1 investment bank, I am continuing to gain invaluable exposure to the broad variety of legal documentation relating to the derivatives trading relationship. Initially focused on a large-scale Brexit remediation project, my job continues to be both challenging and extremely rewarding, allowing me to engage directly with a broad range high-profile, international clients on behalf of the bank on a daily basis.”
