This is a broad, hands-on in-house role for a commercially minded lawyer who wants real exposure across a growing financial services group — not a narrow silo.
You’ll sit at Group level, working closely with the Group General Counsel, supporting multiple regulated businesses spanning platform, discretionary fund management and financial planning. It’s a genuinely varied role, combining regulatory, commercial and governance work, with the chance to grow your influence as the legal function continues to scale.
What you’ll be doing
* Advising across a wide range of financial services and FCA-regulated matters
* Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts (technology, SaaS, suppliers, distribution and advisory agreements)
* Supporting regulatory projects such as Consumer Duty, SMCR and product governance
* Working closely with Compliance and senior stakeholders to deliver clear, pragmatic advice
* Supporting governance and company secretarial matters, including board materials and filings
* Helping to improve legal operations, templates and processes as the function matures
What they’re looking for
* England & Wales qualified solicitor, c.4+ PQE
* In-house experience in regulated financial services (platforms, asset or wealth management ideal)
* Strong commercial contract drafting skills
* Someone organised, proactive and comfortable working across multiple workstreams
* A lawyer who wants to build long-term in a growing in-house team
Why this role
* Genuine breadth across legal, regulatory and governance
* High visibility and close partnership with the GC
* Flexible working and a collaborative, low-ego legal team
* Strong benefits and clear internal progression opportunities
