Connect to your business – Strategy and Business Design

The experts in our teams in Strategy and Business Design are trusted advisors to CEOs and their wider organisations. Whether that's launching a new arm of a business, anticipating new and emerging risks or collaborating with other teams, we work on a huge range of varied projects.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your 'Immediate Family Members' are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.

Connect with your colleagues

Working with law firms and legal departments gives me the opportunity to help clients navigate profound shifts in how legal services are delivered – from technology adoption and operating model redesign to growth strategy and regulatory change. At Director level, what makes the role especially compelling is the opportunity to shape the market, build enduring client relationships and turn insight into meaningful growth for both our clients and our practice.
