• Supporting the legal aspects of new application development, including GDPR and regulatory considerations.
• Managing relationships with external legal advisers to ensure matters are handled efficiently and cost-effectively.
• Supporting the global compliance framework, including data privacy, sanctions, AML, bribery and corruption and market abuse.
• Building exposure to new areas such as financial crime risk management and specialist contract negotiation.
• Assisting with ad hoc legal matters as required.

Essential requirements:

• 2–3 years’ PQE.
• Experience within a corporate or commercial legal team.
• Exposure to technology, IT and IP law.
• Experience negotiating commercial and technology contracts.
