I am delighted to bring to market a senior leadership role within the legal team of a large global bank. This role will be the Head of legal for the entire UK (including Crown Dominions) private banking & wealth management platform.

The role will be part of the senior management team for this part of the bank and work very closely with the entire senior leadership team.

The role has the potential to manage a reasonable sized team and has great progression opportunities in the future as well.

They are targeting this at Director rather than MD level but need significant private banking and / or wealth management experience rather than an entry level Director.

This has to be one of the most exciting jobs going in the legal market in London currently. They are investing massively in this part of the bank and have big plans for the area so it is a brilliant time to join them.

To be considered they will need to see significant, current, experience in this space. They can’t consider anyone looking to transfer their skills due to the requirements of the role.

No sponsorship can be offered.

They are looking to move quickly for the right person so please share your CV ASAP to be considered
