We're working with a high-growth fintech seeking a Senior Legal Counsel to join its London-based legal team. This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling international business where legal plays a highly visible and commercially influential role.
Working as part of a small team, you'll gain exposure far beyond a traditional commercial legal position, partnering closely with senior stakeholders on a broad range of matters spanning:
- Commercial contracts
- Corporate transactions
- Governance
- Product development
- Data protection
- AI initiatives
- Strategic business projects
With genuine scope to shape your remit and develop expertise in areas that interest you most, this role offers the variety, ownership and breadth of experience that many lawyers seek but rarely find within a single position.
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:
- 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.
