Help to monitor relevant legislation and regulations affecting Global Shares, engaging with Compliance and Risk to analyze the requirements of new laws and regulations impacting the business;
Work closely with colleagues in different locations in Europe, the US and other regions, both business representatives and control functions such as Compliance and Risk, where required.

The successful candidate will have at least 6 years of post-qualification experience, ideally gained with a top law firm and/or in the legal department of a top tier institution.
Experience providing advice on regulated services/products and regulatory change within a business.
Experience negotiating commercial contracts directly with clients or counterparties, ideally obtained as in-house counsel for a company; Familiarity with the legal and regulatory frameworks governing financial products and services in Europe/UK would be a strong advantage, e.g., Creative problem-solving skills; an ability to translate complex legal concepts into practical solutions.
Excellent judgement and decision-making skills, in particular the ability to identify legal risk and direct both the business and external counsel to key issues.
An understanding of the operation of employee share plans and trust structures would be an advantage.
