My client are fintech business, based in the city. They are looking to hire a general counsel so work closely with the board, to provide full legal services including strategy. The business operate in the digital assets space, creating a product that has sizeable client interest, which could become a major player in the market.
They are looking for a markets trading lawyer, who ideally has some regulatory knowledge. This is an opportunity to do ground breaking work and to help grow a business with massive potential. The role would suit a 5 PQE+ lawyer who trained at a top tier law firm. In-house experience is a must, whether that be via a secondment or already in-house.
With the business being a start up, it requires a lawyer who has a roll up your sleeves attitude and who is not afraid of going outside their comfort zone to look at a wide array of legal issues. This is a fantastic opportunity for a talented lawyer to take a step up.
