This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Legal Director (or exceptional Senior Associate ready to step up) to join a growing team with genuine Partnership potential.
The firm is seeking an inquisitive, commercially minded lawyer with a strong reputation in Financial Services Regulation, ideally advising banks, investment firms, payment institutions, asset managers and other FCA-regulated businesses.

Alongside delivering technically excellent advice, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your own client relationships, grow your practice and contribute directly to the future direction of the team.
