Legal Counsel | 7PQE+ | Wealth Management | London | Hybrid
Are you a Corporate / M&A / Private Equity / Banking lawyer considering a change and looking to use your skillset in a broader, more commercial environment?
Perhaps you’re looking to make your first move in-house, or you’re already in-house and want a role where you can become a true business-facing legal partner.
We’re partnering with a top-tier global investment manager on a rare opportunity for a senior Legal Counsel to join its Wealth Management business.
This is not a narrow legal role. You’ll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of commercial, corporate, investment and regulatory matters, working closely with senior stakeholders across a global platform.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Advising the Wealth Management business on a broad range of legal and commercial matters
- Drafting and negotiating client agreements, product documentation and commercial contracts
- Supporting strategic projects, corporate transactions and wider business initiatives
- Advising on regulatory and cross-border matters
- Working closely with senior stakeholders and global teams
- Taking real ownership and becoming a trusted legal partner to the business
