We're working with a high-growth fintech seeking a Senior Legal Counsel to join its London-based legal team. This is an opportunity to join a scaling international business where legal is viewed as a genuine partner to the organisation. Working within a small, highly visible team, you'll enjoy broad exposure across the business and work closely with senior stakeholders on a diverse range of legal and commercial matters.
The role offers a varied remit spanning:
- Commercial and strategic customer contracts
- Corporate transactions and financing matters
- Governance and company secretarial work
- Data protection and regulatory issues
- Product development and AI-related initiatives
- Vendor, partnership and operational agreements
One of the most attractive aspects of the opportunity is the breadth of work on offer and the ability to shape your role over time. The legal team encourages individuals to develop expertise in areas that align with their interests and strengths, providing genuine flexibility to broaden responsibilities and build experience across different areas of the business. This is not a narrow commercial contracts role. The successful candidate will enjoy significant ownership, high levels of visibility and the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to stakeholders across the organisation.
Our client is particularly interested in speaking with lawyers who are:
- Approximately 6–10 years' PQE
- Qualified in England & Wales or another common law jurisdiction
- Commercially minded and pragmatic
- Comfortable taking ownership of matters from start to finish
- Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
- Interested in broadening their experience beyond a traditional commercial legal role
The culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative and low hierarchy. Individuals are encouraged to take responsibility, build strong relationships across the business and contribute beyond their core area of expertise. This opportunity is likely to appeal to lawyers looking to gain broader exposure across commercial, corporate, governance, regulatory and strategic business matters within a growing fintech environment.
