CORPORATE SOLICITOR - FSR TEAM - LONDON CITY

Leading and full-service international legal practice seeks Corporate Solicitor with 2 - 4 years PQE to work in FSR team.

FSA practice
Regulatory issues cut across the traditional law firm divide between "contentious" and "non-contentious" work. That is why we have brought together a team with the skills and expertise to assist clients at all stages of the regulatory process, including:
- authorisations and issues surrounding corporate restructuring
- advice on compliance and risk management policies and procedures including advice on the implementation of new regulatory requirements
- advice on responding to compliance problems, including conduct of reviews or internal investigations (whether or not at the request of the regulator)
- advice and representation during regulatory investigations and enforcement actions combining heavyweight litigation expertise with leading regulatory capability and top-ranked public lawyers, we handle the full range of civil, criminal and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions that can result from a regulatory failure

We understand the challenges faced by financial institutions managing regulatory risk across multiple jurisdictions. We have extensive experience of assisting clients on such issues from advising clients on compliance strategies for business lines that operate across national boundaries to managing regulatory investigations/enforcement involving multiple regulators and of specialist regulatory expertise local to each relevant jurisdiction.

Our lawyers have a broader range of experience than many legal advisers: Outstanding technical and professional skills are a prerequisite for our work, but they are not enough on their own. An in-depth understanding of regulatory policy and process and how it impacts on our clients is crucial.

Our regulatory team includes Partners who have previously gained several years experience working in senior in-house legal roles within the regulator or within financial institutions. We have also invested heavily in ensuring that our associates spend time on secondment with clients and with the UK Financial Services Authority. These have included recent secondments to the UK FSA's General Counsel's Division MIFID team and Enforcement Division.

Qualifications required:
Excellent academics
2-4 years PQE

Skills required:
Previous FSR experience essential (including a good understanding of MIFID)
