Responsibilities:
A varied legal role which involves:
* Advising on a broad spectrum of corporate, regulatory, privacy and governance issues;
* Contributing to multi-business and jurisdictionally strategic projects, new products and corporate reorganisations.
The role will have a particular focus on the UK but may involve matters arising across EMEA or globally. Advice will often be given in a multi-jurisdictional context and therefore the ideal candidate will be able to understand jurisdictional differences and nuances and tailor their advice accordingly.
Please note: This role is only open to experienced lawyers.
* Advising management and corporate functions on legal and regulatory requirements across a broad spectrum of topics, including governance, outsourcing, data protection, AML, the UK Senior Managers and Certification Regime, and CASS.
* Reviewing corporate policies and procedures to ensure that they meet local legal and regulatory requirements.
* Providing legal advice on regulatory reforms to help internal clients understand their impact and design appropriate implementation plans.
* Instructing and managing external counsel.
* Collaborating with and seeking input from lawyers in the US and across EMEA, ensuring consistency of approach wherever appropriate given legal and regulatory requirements.
* Advising on the regulatory aspects of corporate re-organisation and expansion projects and cross functional or jurisdictional corporate projects.
Skills:
* Able to communicate legal advice on complex issues clearly and concisely.
* A self-starter, able to work independently (seeking support when needed) and able to juggle competing priorities.
* Experience of working on cross border projects or transactions.
* A collaborative working approach, able to build networks and work effectively on multi-stakeholder projects and to integrate different cultural perspectives.
* Sufficient gravitas and credibility to be able to engage with senior stakeholders autonomously.
* Prior financial services regulatory experience is desirable, but more important is a curious mindset, excellent legal skills, and an ability to quickly pick up new topics.
