Job description

This highly collegiate, UK-headquartered, full service international law firm fields a sizable private funds practice that sits near the top of the mid-market, not to mention strong debt finance and mid-market transactional private equity offerings.

While the firm has a well-regarded contentious financial services practice, its financial services regulatory offering—particularly at partner level—is relatively underdeveloped compared to its corporate, finance, and especially private funds teams. This gap in senior-level expertise presents an opportunity cost the firm is keen to address. As such, it is seeking a non-contentious financial services regulatory partner – or team – to bolster its capabilities, with a particular focus on supporting the thriving funds practice.

The firm is looking for a candidate to fill this role and is eager to hear from qualified applicants.
