Are you a Senior Regulatory Lawyer looking for your next challenge?


Whether you're considering your first move in-house from private practice or you're an experienced in-house lawyer looking for a fresh opportunity, this is an exciting chance to join a leading global financial institution at the forefront of financial services regulation.


If you're looking for a broad, strategic role where no two days are the same, this could be the opportunity for you. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business, advising on complex UK and EU financial services regulatory matters, supporting regulatory change programmes, and helping shape innovative initiatives in the digital assets and tokenisation space.


This is far more than a traditional advisory position. You'll become a trusted legal partner to the business, providing commercially focused advice on regulatory, legal and reputational risk, supporting strategic business initiatives, negotiating commercial agreements, and influencing decision-making at a senior level.


The Role

  • Advise on complex UK and EU financial services regulation.
  • Partner with senior business leaders on strategic regulatory and commercial initiatives.
  • Support regulatory change programmes and provide guidance on legal, conduct and reputational risk.
  • Draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements and transaction documentation.
  • Monitor legislative and regulatory developments, providing pragmatic, business-focused legal advice.
  • Support innovative projects within digital assets, tokenisation and emerging financial technologies.
  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across legal, compliance and the wider business.


About You

  • Qualified lawyer with significant post-qualification experience.
  • Strong financial services regulatory experience gained within a leading financial institution or top-tier law firm.
  • Excellent knowledge of UK and EU financial services regulation.
  • Experience or a genuine interest in digital assets, tokenisation or emerging financial technologies would be highly advantageous.


What's on Offer?

  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Hybrid working.
  • A genuinely broad, varied and high-profile role with exposure to senior stakeholders across the business.
  • The opportunity to work on cutting-edge regulatory, digital asset and tokenisation initiatives.
  • A collaborative and supportive legal team with genuine opportunities for long-term career development. xwzovoh
