Interim Regulatory Counsel (Retail Investments) | 6-Month Contract

Immediate Interim Opportunity | Financial Services | Retail Investments

We are working with a leading financial services organisation seeking an experienced Regulatory Counsel to join its in-house legal team on an initial 6-month contract. This role sits within a growing retail investment business and offers the opportunity to support a range of high-profile regulatory, commercial and strategic initiatives.

Working closely with product, commercial, compliance, and senior leadership teams, you will provide pragmatic legal advice across a broad spectrum of UK financial services regulatory matters impacting retail investment products and customer propositions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Advising on UK financial services regulation affecting retail investment and savings products
  • Supporting product development, enhancement, and governance initiatives
  • Translating complex regulatory requirements into practical, commercially focused advice
  • Advising on customer journeys, customer communications, and retail investment documentation
  • Supporting regulatory change projects and strategic business initiatives
  • Reviewing and negotiating a range of commercial agreements and third-party arrangements
  • Partnering with risk, compliance, and business stakeholders to balance legal and commercial objectives
  • Managing legal matters autonomously within a fast-paced environment

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
