Manchester, United Kingdom Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP Full time

Function Overview & Practice Area

Freshfields’ global Knowledge function connects people and knowledge to enable the firm’s lawyers to provide market-leading client service, to grow the business of the firm and strengthen client relationships, and to support the firm’s lawyers in developing their legal skills, while focusing on value, quality and efficiency. Our Knowledge & Information Services team plays a critical role in ensuring the firm’s lawyers have access to curated internal knowledge collections and external resources relevant to their work and support research activities and current awareness.

The financial services regulatory practice (contentious and non-contentious) deals with work on the most complex regulatory requirements, multijurisdictional matters and thought leadership initiatives. We work for the largest financial markets participants and for smaller niche companies including fintech. The non-contentious practice deals with advice on the full range of regulatory issues including licensing, governance, culture and conduct, sustainable finance, and regulatory capital and recovery and resolution planning. The contentious practice advises on major regulatory and internal investigations and litigation concerning issues including complex international financial transactions, market conduct, AML and financial crime, data and resilience and product design and sales processes in the retail financial services sector.

Location Overview: Manchester

The Freshfields Global Centre provides both business and legal services to the firm. Our services are delivered in a way which supports the global nature of our firm and our clients, enables our fee earners to deliver exceptional service to our clients and to do that in a way which is efficient and effective.
