You’ll work closely with experienced legal colleagues and senior business stakeholders, gaining exposure to a broad range of wealth management and retail investment products and services
You'll join a collaborative, commercially focused legal team on a permanent basis, providing practical advice that supports strategic growth, innovation and strong outcomes for clients

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

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
