In-House Legal
In-House Legal is a core part of the Risk Function.
We advise the entire global firm, including its senior management, governance bodies and partners, across a diverse range of complex and interesting subject areas. This includes advising on the firm’s group structure, the impact of new laws and regulations on the global business, complex supply chain risk issues (including high value commercial contracts), the legal and regulatory implications of new technologies and advanced delivery matters, and all areas of risk management.
We frequently lead on strategic global projects, and have a number of industry experts within the team. We also have a key role in looking to the future and providing strategic advice to the firm’s management to help them find solutions and achieve the firm’s strategic objectives.
As a member of In-House Legal you will have the opportunity to work regularly with our offices around the world, take a leading role on key projects and contribute to the growth of the business. You will be able to develop your career at a leading international firm, offering a unique in-house experience where high performance and innovation is encouraged and recognised.
