A truly ground-breaking opportunity – Equity Partner (Legal) PwC, Funds

BAME Recruitment is delighted to partner with PwC to recruit an Equity Partner (Legal) with expertise in the Funds sector.

You will play a critical and leading role in aligning PwC’s growing Financial Services Legal expertise alongside the existing Financial Services work, providing a unique and compelling business offering, with the customer at the centre.

With the integration of PwC’s legal capabilities into the wider business in 2016, building an adjacent legal business in this multidisciplinary firm is a key strategic goal sponsored at the highest level.

As the newly created Equity Partner (Legal) - Funds, you will use your expertise to give the clients you work with a cross-functional team across jurisdictions, coordinated by you as the one clear leader. Working in a multidisciplinary environment, you will deliver clear legal advice in a practical manner that can be easily understood by other professionals and results in just a single bill and reporting, covering all jurisdictions.

With over 400 legal professionals at PwC in the UK, including 42 partners and directors, you will be in great company and adding to the legal specialists providing innovative solutions to resolve complex problems, drawing on cross-practice and cross-border understanding of commercial, regulatory and competitive pressures being faced by large multinational organisations, including Financial Services & Funds.

PwC has made huge progress in recent years in becoming a more diverse organisation, reflective of wider society. The Legal Services area alone has impressive diversity stats and is keen to continue that with role models at a leadership level playing a key and critical part in encouraging authenticity, wellness and progress regardless of your background or situation.

This includes looking at how great legal work can be performed, directly alongside the business and using commercial structures that are fair and appropriate, not just on a pure hourly rate basis. You will be given the freedom to determine the most appropriate charging basis and with a big and capable team around you, the expectation is that you will provide the expertise and oversight to drive great outcomes under your leadership. This, in turn, means that you and your teams will enjoy delivering great quality work yet have control over how and when you do this: Work/life balance as well as employee wellness are all part of PwC’s DNA.

So if you are a partner in an ‘old school’ magic/silver circle firm or in the UK division of a major international firm and are interested in more innovative working practices, attitudes, cultures and opportunities, then PwC could be the right ‘fit’ for you.
