Job Description

The role

This role is to be an integral part of the London Regulatory, Investigations and Financial Crime (RIFC ) practice providing specialist legal expertise as part of the London Knowledge, Expertise and Thought Leadership team (KETL team ), which consists of experienced Knowledge Lawyers and information specialists.

Our KETL team is focused on delivering practical and insightful knowhow and advice to lawyers in our Litigation and Dispute Resolution (L&DR) department, where our London RIFC practice is located. Key to achieving this goal is the need to keep abreast of legal developments and work closely with lawyers in order to ensure that knowhow and insights are collated, analysed and shared across the L&DR Practice.

Our global RIFC network handles major regulatory enforcement and corporate criminal investigations and related litigation. We act on the largest and most complex UK and international investigations, and offer a seamless, integrated service across our network of offices for cross-border investigations. As such, the role requires UK legal expertise but also an understanding of the interplay between different legal systems and regulatory requirements.

As well as keeping up to date with, and analysing, all legal and legislative developments (including potential developments) relevant to contentious regulatory matters, financial crime and investigations, you will be the "go to" contact in the RIFC team for relevant legislative/regulatory insights, template maintenance and knowledge sharing. Detailed knowledge of FCA/PRA and other regulatory investigations and enforcement practice is essential.

Your role will, in particular, involve significant assistance with thought leadership initiatives, business development, client briefings and training.


Who you will work with

The RIFC team (of approximately 10 partners and 41 associates) sits within the wider Litigation & Dispute Resolution (L&DR) group in London (which comprises 27 partners and around 89 associates).

You will also work with the following:

  • The wider KETL team, including other professional support lawyers and L&DR's two information officers
  • Business development team
  • Costs team
  • Practice Assistants
  • Paralegals
  • The forensics group
  • Business Professional Support services such as IT, mailroom and records
  • The Best Delivery Team

Our London L&DR team is fully integrated with, and works regularly with our market-leading global L&DR practice, which has around 600 lawyers based in Continental Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the United States as well as the UK. The team is experienced in the full spectrum of litigation, dispute resolution and regulatory issues that our clients face. Our highly qualified teams are focused on resolving high risk litigation, international arbitration and regulatory investigations.


What you will do

We are looking for an outstanding lawyer with experience in financial regulation, and, in particular, the contentious aspects of regulatory work. FCA/PRA experience is a pre-requisite, with detailed knowledge of regulatory rules and enforcement practice and guidance. In all cases, candidates should be intellectually rigorous, have first-class legal ability and an outstanding academic track record.


Key Responsibilities

  • Preparing, or overseeing the preparation of, client briefings on matters affecting financial regulation and investigation, whether arising from changes in the law or, more broadly, representing thought leadership in the area.
  • Keeping up to date with and advising lawyers in the team on developments affecting financial regulation and investigations in the UK, whether in the courts, rulebooks or elsewhere, and ensuring that lawyers in the practice are aware of developments.
  • Working with lawyers in the team on business development ideas, client outreach and other initiatives.
  • Acting as a sounding board for and specialist adviser to colleagues in relation to regulatory or investigatory aspects of client matters and, where appropriate, dealing directly with clients.
  • Keeping up to date with developments in white collar criminal litigation, keeping colleagues up to date, and preparing briefings in relation to it.
  • Liaising with colleagues in other practice areas and offices on issues affecting financial regulation, identifying international trends, and producing briefings or comparative reports for internal and external consumption.
  • Responding on behalf of the firm to consultations relating to financial regulation in the UK and internationally.
  • Providing education, both internally and for clients relating to investigations and financial regulation.
  • Preparing materials for, and keeping up to date, L&DR's internal knowledge resources, including the intranet, in relation to financial regulation and investigations.
Qualifications

Your experiences

You will be an outstanding mid to senior level lawyer or existing Knowledge Lawyer (PSL). You will likely be working in a top-ranked law firm, regulator or set of chambers.

You will have an excellent academic background. You will have strong drafting skills, good attention to detail and organisational skills.

You should also have excellent communication and analytical skills, along with a high level of commercial awareness, and a strong track record of keeping abreast of legal developments. Candidates with experience of training or working closely with junior lawyers are encouraged.


How we will support you

We have formal training, informal coaching and mentoring through to skills-based and technical training and on the job learning.

Additional Information

Hybrid Working

This role follows our 'balanced' hybrid working approach and as long as business needs allow, you will be supported to work in a hybrid way with the expectation of working from the office for a minimum of 50% of your time.
