Senior Legal Counsel

Legal Counsel The Opportunity If you're a banking lawyer who wants more than a steady queue of contracts, this role is worth a look. You'll advise the board directly. You'll lead the legal side of strategic projects and organisational change. And you'll keep the day-to-day advisory work that keeps your technical skills sharp. It's a chance to shape decisions, not just review them after they've been made. The Role You'll join the in-house legal team as a trusted adviser to senior leadership, business units and group companies. The work is broad, which means no two weeks look the same. Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of agreements, and be the first port of call for legal questions from client-facing teams. Advise the board, internal functions and group entities on commercial, corporate and banking law. Lead the legal workstream on strategic initiatives and organisational change, turning analysis into recommendations the business can act on. Monitor legislative and case law developments, assess what they mean for the business and propose a response. Help internal teams implement regulatory requirements correctly, and run training that makes legal obligations easy to follow. Manage litigation and pre-litigation matters, instructing and coordinating external counsel and auditors. Prepare internal reporting, including on customer complaints, and contribute to responses to regulator enquiries. Because you'll follow matters from the first query right through to board level, you'll build a view of the business that few in-house roles offer. The Company Our client is an established financial institution operating in a heavily regulated environment. Regulation shapes almost everything the business does. That means legal isn't a back-office function here. It sits close to the decisions that matter, and your advice will carry real weight. You'll also work across group companies, which gives you exposure to a wider range of structures and issues than a single-entity role would. What You'll Need Full German legal qualification, with both state examinations. Expertise in banking, corporate and contract law. Several years' professional experience gained at a bank or financial services provider, in consulting, or in a corporate environment. How to Apply Interested?
