Legal Counsel (Wealth Management) - Global Investment Manager

Job description

Legal Counsel 8PQE+ – Wealth Management | London (Hybrid)

Are you a commercially minded lawyer looking for your next challenge? Whether you’re making your first move in-house and want exposure to a broad, high-impact role, or you’re already in-house and ready to be the face of legal within a Wealth Management team, this is a rare opportunity.

We’re partnering with a top-tier global investment manager on a senior, business-facing Legal Counsel role. You’ll work across UK and international operations in a highly regulated environment, shaping legal and commercial strategy for a globally respected platform.

What you’ll do:

• Provide pragmatic legal advice across Wealth Management matters.
• Draft and review client agreements, product documentation, and commercial contracts.
• Navigate regulatory issues (FCA/PRA/GFSA) and cross-border considerations.
• Lead on strategic projects, corporate transactions, and commercial initiatives, collaborating with global teams.

Who we’re looking for:

• A commercially minded lawyer with experience in retail investment management, private banking, private assets, or Corporate law.
• Private assets experience is a strong advantage, but the client is open to a broad range of senior legal backgrounds.
• Comfortable advising senior stakeholders, operating independently, and navigating complex legal and regulatory frameworks.
• Pragmatic, collaborative, adaptable, and a great culture fit.

What’s on offer:

• Competitive base salary
• Bonus
• Hybrid working flexibility

This is a rare chance to step into a broad, senior legal role where your judgment and experience will have real impact across a globally respected platform.
