An excellent in-house opportunity has opened up for a 3-5yr PQE lawyer to join the AAL Legal Services department as a Legal Adviser and Company Secretary.

The role has a broad commercial remit but will focus on providing regulatory and corporate governance support and advice by drafting and reviewing a wide variety of scheme rules, memorandum and articles of association, codes of conduct and related governance documentation. Excellent awareness of banking and payment regulations (both UK and European) and their impact on corporate governance, retail banking and payment matters is a necessity for this role. You will also be responsible for providing a company secretariat function to our various clients and will be expected to handle all day-to-day company secretarial functions. Additionally, you will be expected to assist and advise on various ad hoc commercial contract legal requests at short notice.

Experience of competition law would be advantageous but is not essential. Confident and an excellent communicator, you will also have an ability to work independently and to meet the occasional tight deadline. A solid understanding of contract law, corporate governance and company law with a pro-active commercial approach is essential.

This position is well suited for a person who appreciates a truly wide variety of work within the commercial banking industry and makes a perfect first in-house move.

In return, we can offer a friendly working environment and an attractive salary supported by generous benefits including 30 days’ holiday and a non-contributory pension scheme.
