Commercial & Regulatory Lawyer (Financial Services)

Job Details

We are working closely with a market leading ALSP in their search for an experienced Commercial and Regulatory Lawyer with financial services sector experience, to join their asset management client on a three month assignment. Whilst the assignment is initially due to run for three months, there is potential for further extension.

Providing advice on financial services regulatory matters, particularly those relating to MIFID II projects and issues, will also be an expectation.

There will be a level of interfacing with internal stakeholders, so prior experience in collaborating with internal stakeholders would be beneficial.

Successful candidates are likely to demonstrate:

• Qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales.
