• Acting as a subject matter expert to enable larger projects by the strategy and consulting teams

• Finally, importantly, the role will involve supervising and mentoring trainee and junior lawyers on our client engagements.  

This role is for you if:

• You have UK and/or EU regulatory experience in the payments, fintech and/or banking sector.
