London (Moorgate) | Hybrid Working | £100,000–£120,000 + Benefits
We are partnering with a Series B, PE-backed RegTech and advisory business on the appointment of its first dedicated Legal Counsel hire.
The business operates across two core service lines:
- A rapidly scaling SaaS platform focused on regulatory reporting and diagnostics within financial services
