We are looking for a lawyer with a minimum of 2 years experience within Investment Management and Financial Services. The vacancy is for an energetic and dynamic lawyer keen to enhance experience working as a key part of our investment management global platform and cross-broader capability.

We are looking for someone with a practical and proactive approach in addition to demonstrating strong problem solving skills and working well in a team. The lawyer would enjoy working across multiple jurisdictions and relish client exposure. Experience of advising asset managers in previous roles is essential.

Ideal candidates will have some background, and/or interest, in a range of areas regulated by the FCA and PRA including asset management, broking, derivatives trading, payment services, banking, e-money, fintech/crowdfunding, consumer financial services, insurance mediation, money laundering etc. Of these the asset management-related regulatory experience/ interest will be the most valuable - e.g. AIFMD, UCITS, MiFID, PRIIPs. Other financial services-related or corporate experience which is not pure regulatory will also be of value, especially any funds establishment and documentation experience.

You will need to be strong technically and have proven attention to detail as well as organisational ability. You should feel comfortable with interacting directly with clients, colleagues and other parties and we place high value on client service and working as a team. We encourage every member of the team to develop client relationships and to assist with the development of the investment management group. As part of this, you will have your own matters to manage alongside other members of our team.

A full spec is attached.
