The Goldman Sachs Legal Division spans offices across 37 cities worldwide, from which we provide counsel and advice to support the global activities of the firm and our clients.

We offer numerous training and career development opportunities including a weekly legal training programme, Division mentoring schemes and a people development committee tasked with providing tangible tools to help manage and develop careers. The Division also has several active and varied committees including the Diversity, Pro Bono, Innovation, Charity and Social Committees and encourages participation in the Women ' s, Black and LGBT firmwide affinity networks.

The role requires the ability to work independently from day one and to manage a diverse and complex workload advising on a range of issues including new product and service offerings, implementation of new regulations and specific client situations. Lawyers in the Wealth Management team work closely with a diverse group of clients across the PWM and Marcus businesses and the broader Legal Division and thrive on the pressures of delivering consistently high quality advice to dynamic and constantly evolving businesses.
Advising PWM and Marcus on all aspects of the client relationship from pitches through to structuring of accounts and account opening procedures, negotiation of account documentation and investment restrictions, and support on client or transaction-specific questions.
Advising on a wide range of regulatory topics across the UK and EU, such as interpretation of new and existing regulations and assessment of the impact of regulations to our business activities, advising on complex cross-border questions, and assisting with the identification of new regulations that may impact the PWM and/or Marcus businesses.
Liaising with other lawyers in the Goldman Sachs Legal Division globally.
Liaising with outside counsel on a broad range of domestic and cross-border jurisdictional issues.
We are targeting qualified lawyers in the 2-4 years PQE range (ideally with experience in asset management, regulation, retail banking or private wealth). Candidates are expected to have relevant post-qualification experience either with a reputable law firm or as in-house counsel. Knowledge of a major European language would be useful.

At Goldman Sachs, we commit our people, capital and ideas to help our clients, shareholders and the communities we serve to grow. Founded in 1869, we are a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm. Headquartered in New York, we maintain offices around the world.
