    ABOUT US

    The British Business Bank is an established and influential institution with a key mission of driving sustainable growth and prosperity throughout the United Kingdom. It plays a vital role in supporting access to finance for smaller businesses, facilitating their development and contributing to the transition towards a net zero economy.

    Since its inception in 2014, the British Business Bank has functioned as a government-owned economic development bank, operating independently to fulfil its objectives. It collaborates with over 200 delivery partners, including high street, digital, specialist, and challenger banks, venture capital and private debt funds, as well as fintech platforms, to implement its programs effectively.

    With offices in Sheffield and London, the British Business Bank currently employs approximately 550 individuals.

    As an organisation that values flexibility, wellbeing and collaboration, the British Business Bank introduced a hybrid-working model in 2020. Our colleagues typically spend an average of 2 days per week working in our offices, striking a balance between the advantages of remote work and the benefits of in-person collaboration. The successful candidate for this role should be able to commute to our London office.

    Key Benefits

    • 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays, opportunity to buy and sell up to 5 days holiday
    • 15% employer pension contribution
    • Flexible working
    • Cycle to work scheme, healthcare cash plan, Group Income Protection and life assurance
    • Paid voluntary days, maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave
    • Benefits designed to suit your lifestyle - from discounts on retail and dining, to health and wellbeing, travel, and plenty more

    The Role

    THE ROLE

    As part of its mission to make finance markets work better for small businesses across the UK, British Business Bank (BBB) acts as an institutional investor in a wide range of venture and growth equity funds and small and mid-cap credit funds. In this role you will join the Legal and Governance team to provide support to the BBB's business teams covering a broad range of funds-based transactions and to support the activities of the wider Legal and Governance team.

    Reporting to a Senior Counsel, you will focus primarily on supporting fund investment programmes across BBB including transactions in private closed ended debt funds and venture capital funds, funds-of-funds, listed funds, and non-regulated investment vehicles funded by private and public sources of finance. The role will also include advising on financial regulation and providing general commercial advice in an in-house Financial Services context. You will be required to manage external counsel and legal fees and all members of the legal team are required to contribute to know-how and training.

    This is a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer with a minimum of 4 years+ PQE. This position will be based in London or Sheffield and will be a hybrid role with a requirement to work 2 days per week in the office.

    You will have experience of advising on and managing funds transactions in the financial services/asset management space and strong transactional skills, with experience of working with front line business leads essential and managing external legal counsel desirable. Experience of acting for institutional investors with a similar profile to the Bank would be a distinct advantage. Candidates applying from private practice roles may be considered provided they can demonstrate a genuine ability to adapt to an in-house environment.

    As a legal counsel at BBB it is expected that you will role model candour and integrity, support the wellbeing of colleagues, encourage diversity of thought, and strive for continuous improvement. You will be collaborative, celebrate differences and inspire a culture of inclusion. You will have excellent communication skills and you will be confident in building and maintaining key stakeholder relationships. We are looking for a colleague who is capable of prioritising competing demands and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
