- Advise on licensing and client regulatory issues across EMEA jurisdictions in coordination with Compliance;
- Monitor regulatory developments and assess their impact on business operations;
- Work closely with other members of the Global Legal team and with Compliance, Business, and Operations teams.
What skill-sets are we looking for?
- A qualified lawyer with 2–4 years’ PQE ;
- Solid experience in IMA contract review and negotiation;

- Strong analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills;
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong commercial acumen and collaboration skills.
Our client provides a collegiate, stable and supportive environment in which to work.

A very competitive daily rate is on offer.
