    A leading international law firm is seeking a Financial Regulation Associate or Senior Associate to join its highly regarded Regulation, Insurance and Funds (RIF) team in London. This is an excellent opportunity to work at the forefront of a rapidly evolving financial services landscape, advising on complex regulatory matters across traditional financial services, fintech, and digital assets. The team is known for its innovative approach, blending trusted advisory work with cutting‑edge digital legal solutions.

    • Advising on UK financial services regulation, including FCA rules and guidance
    • Supporting clients through regulatory journeys (authorisations, variations of permission, changes in control)
    • Drafting client‑facing documentation (e.g. ISAs, investment management agreements, Model B arrangements)
    • Advising on funds regulation, including UCITS and AIFs
    • Providing regulatory advice on payments, digital assets, cryptoassets and DLT‑related products
    • Keeping clients informed of fast‑paced regulatory change and implementing solutions
    • Advising on regulatory aspects of M&A and corporate transactions involving regulated firms
    • Mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to team development
    • Supporting business development through articles, client events and cross‑team collaboration

    Candidate Profile


    You will be a UK‑qualified lawyer (or equivalent) with at least 4 years' PQE, gained at a law firm, in‑house, or within a regulator. You will have experience advising on many of the following:

    • Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and secondary legislation
    • FCA and PRA rulebooks (COBS, SYSC, SMCR, capital and client money rules)
    • Payments Services Regulations and Electronic Money Regulations
    • Financial promotions and product distribution
    • Authorisation and ongoing regulatory compliance
    • Cryptoassets, stablecoins and digital payments
    • Transactions involving FCA/PRA regulated entities

    You will be intellectually strong, commercially minded, and motivated by working in a progressive, collaborative environment.

    Why Apply?

    • High‑profile, sophisticated client base across banking, investment management, insurance, payments and fintech
    • Strong emphasis on innovation, technology and the future of financial regulation
    • Genuine career development and progression opportunities
    • Inclusive, flexible and supportive culture with a strong track record on diversity and social mobility
    • Exposure to cross‑border work through close collaboration with international offices
