TLT is a leading adviser to the financial services industry. The firm acts for the largest UK banks and other leading firms. We have a role working directly for one of our key clients, supported by our Financial Services Regulatory team. We are seeking Contract Lawyers with over 2 years PQE and a background in Financial Crime, particularly in advising on sanctions.

This role requires technical knowledge and experience in sanctions compliance.

The position is on a day rate contract, likely lasting 4-6 months with potential extension. It is a remote role via an Umbrella company, with some office attendance in London.

You should have:

• Excellent communication skills and confidence to engage with clients and colleagues at all levels
• Ability to provide strategic advice independently
• Experience in financial crime and sanctions
• Capacity to manage a busy, varied workload
