Join us as a Legal Counsel

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified lawyer with private practice or in-house experience to develop their career in one of the UK’s leading Private Banking and Wealth Management businesses

What you’ll do

As our Legal Counsel, you'll provide clear, practical and commercially focused legal advice to the Private Banking and Wealth Management business, helping stakeholders navigate legal and regulatory issues in a complex and fast-moving environment. Working as part of a supportive legal team, you'll contribute to a varied portfolio of advisory work, transactions, projects and business initiatives, building your expertise while helping the business deliver strong client and commercial outcomes.

Your work will focus on:

Providing proactive legal advice on wealth management and retail investment products and services, with support from more senior lawyers where appropriate

To succeed in this job, you'll also need to bring strong legal judgement, intellectual curiosity, a collaborative approach and the confidence to take initiative and deliver legal advice to senior business stakeholders. This is a great opportunity to work on high-profile business priorities and develop your career within a supportive and ambitious legal function.

We’ll expect you to have:

A strong grounding in legal practice, with the ability to analyse issues, apply sound judgement and provide pragmatic advice in a commercial context
An interest in wealth management, retail investments and the legal and regulatory environment in which financial services firms operate
The confidence to build effective relationships with stakeholders, ask the right questions and communicate advice clearly to lawyers and non-lawyers alike
A collaborative working style, with the ability to manage competing priorities, take ownership of work and contribute positively to team delivery
A commitment to developing your expertise, staying up to date with legal and market developments, and delivering high-quality outcomes for the business and its clients
