Financial Services Associate 2

4 days ago

Midlothian, United Kingdom CMS UK Full time

We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and committed lawyer to join our Financial Services Team in Scotland, with members based in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

CMS has one of the few large, stand alone financial services practices in the City of London. The combined UK Financial Services team consists of 9 partners and a team of 22 other fee-earners and trainees in the UK. This is therefore an excellent opportunity for someone looking to further their career and develop the Firm's Financial Services practice.

The Financial Services Team in Scotland provides transaction support and advice to the Firm's most important FS clients (including banks, insurers and investment / asset management companies) in all areas which require specialist FS Law input. The Team also works closely with other groups in the firm to service clients.

About us

CMS is a Future Facing firm with more than 70 offices in over 40 countries and 5,000+ lawyers worldwide. We combine deep local market understanding with a global perspective. We are passionate about building strong relationships with our clients, our people, and the communities we work in.

We take a bold, dynamic, and agile approach to ensure our clients are able to face the future with confidence. We are driven by technology and readily embrace the possibilities it opens up for developing new and better ways of working. Our aim is to inspire, impact and support our clients and our people, helping them to maximize their potential and thrive.

About the Role

In this role, you can expect to get involved in a variety of work including:

  • Investment Funds
  • Financial Services Compliance & Regulation
  • Long term and general insurance
  • Investment / Asset Management

The particular position that the team is seeking to fill involves potentially supporting all of the areas of the Scottish Team's work with a view in the medium term to developing one or more areas of specialism although there is likely to be significant work on the Investment Funds side.

The position requires the ability to work under pressure autonomously and as part of the Team.

About You

We will invest in your ongoing training and development to support your professional goals and help you to thrive in your role from day one. Our opportunities are open to all suitably qualified applicants, so to be considered for this role you must meet the following skills and experience:

  • In the range of 2 to 4 years' PQE and from a top tier law firm or from a recognised financial institution.
  • Experience of financial services regulatory work, with a genuine interest in the area, and a desire to learn new things and develop your skills.
  • Self-motivated
  • Commercially aware
  • A strong team player
  • Ambitious, with the potential to develop and further their career
  • Candidates are expected to be able to show initiative, a keenness to learn and be a self-starter.
What's in it for you?

We want to reward you today and help you plan for tomorrow. We appreciate that everyone is different, therefore we have designed a benefits system that offers choice and flexibility based on individual needs and lifestyles. To name just a few, these include:

  • Competitive basic salary (reviewed annually)
  • Flexible, hybrid working policy
  • Generous bonus scheme
  • Up to 25 days holiday (rising to 28 days with service)
  • Holiday exchange scheme
  • Private medical insurance
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Reasonable adjustments and accommodation for disabled talent in accordance with the Equality Act 2010
