We are working with one of the largest financial services organisations across Asia, which has a strong and growing presence throughout Europe.

  • support the efficient execution of documentation in accordance with internal requirements and policies and external regulations in order to manage legal risk;
  • assist the legal team with other transactional matters or projects as required.

What skill-sets are we looking for?

  • The person should have a degree in English law and MUST have relevant paralegal experience in the UK from another bank or have debt finance/lending experience.
  • Proficiency in using IT software products (e.g. Microsoft Office);
  • Good communication skills (including a business level of spoken and written English); commercially minded.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Paralegal/legal professional who is looking to move in-house and develop a career within an established, successful and stable Bank.
