    Join us as a Legal Counsel

  • This is an excellent opportunity to join us as a Legal Counsel, where you'll deliver the legal strategy and provide expert, accurate and cost-effective legal advice
  • Your role will sit within our Commercial & Institutional Banking business area, so we'll need you to have an understanding of associated legal issues
  • You'll be recognised as an expert in your field, and be exposed to stakeholders across the bank and externally

    We're looking for an experienced Legal Counsel to manage and coordinate the delivery of legal advice, supporting our Asset & Invoice Finance, Business Banking, Commercial Mid-Market, Restructuring and Capital Management business areas. You'll work closely with stakeholders and legal colleagues to ensure the timely, effective and efficient delivery of all issues, projects and initiatives, either directly or through a team.

    Additionally, you'll be:

  • Making sure that legal advice is readily understandable to non-lawyers, delivered within relevant timescales, and manages and minimises legal risks
  • Delivering continuous improvement in operating practices and processes, including identifying efficiencies, improvements and opportunities to reduce costs
  • Providing the communication of internal and external legal advice and helping to deliver transactions and projects to stakeholders in a commercial, user friendly and efficient manner
  • Managing legal costs through the use of e-billing, auctions and other cost tools and driving a culture of disciplined cost management and controls

    The skills you'll need

    To be successful in this role, you'll need experience of providing legal and commercial advice in relation to transactions and projects in-house, or in a leading UK law firm. We'll expect you to have in depth knowledge of general banking law and practice, and the financial services industry, coupled with the ability to establish and maintain strong relationships across the bank. Restructuring and Insolvency experience would also be beneficial.

    You'll also need:

  • Knowledge of the commercial and institutional banking business activities, the commercial environment within which it operates and associated legal issues
  • Experience of working with leading law firms and other professional advisers and consultants
  • The ability to keep up to date with and share relevant legal and market developments
