Senior Investigations Lawyer, In-house
A dynamic and fast-growing financial services organisation is looking for a qualified solicitor to undertake a senior investigations-focused role.
This is a strong opportunity for an in-house lawyer with significant UK financial services investigations experience who is looking for a broader role involving whistleblowing, regulatory risk, governance and senior stakeholder engagement. You will lead complex and sensitive internal investigations, including whistleblowing matters, from initial assessment through to findings and recommendations. You will also support compliance assurance reviews, risk assessments and remediation work across an exciting international business.
The role will involve:
- Leading confidential internal investigations and whistleblowing matters
- Interviewing witnesses, reviewing evidence and preparing investigation reports
- Advising on regulatory, conduct and governance issues
- Working closely with Legal, Compliance, Risk, Audit, HR and senior business stakeholders
- Supporting compliance assurance reviews and regulatory risk assessments
- Helping shape best practice across the business
The ideal candidate will be a qualified solicitor with at least 8 years’ PQE and substantial investigations experience gained within UK regulated financial services. Experience in-house would be highly desirable, as would exposure to market abuse, surveillance, wholesale markets or complex financial products.
This is a high-profile role for a lawyer who enjoys sensitive investigations, senior stakeholder interaction and working at the intersection of legal, regulatory and conduct risk.
