• Advising clients across Barclays functions on company law issues arising from Senior Managers Regime (SMR) and other UK Individual Accountability Regimes (IAR)
• Leading and advising on ad hoc strategic projects including (but not limited to) equity issuance, share buy-backs, strategy updates, and contingency planning for material news items
• Delivering to function clients ad hoc corporate or commercial queries
• Providing the day-to-day mentoring and knowledge sharing across GCTL

What we’re looking for:
• Qualified lawyer, or equivalent
• Background as a Corporate Lawyer with experience of corporate advisory
• Experience of UK Companies Act, Disclosure and Transparency Rules, Listing Rules, and UK Market Abuse Regulation
• Experience and ability to interact with the most senior stakeholders, and to present advice in a succinct and solution-oriented manner

Skills that will help you in the role:
• Experience in an in-house role, in particular within financial services
• Experience of Equity Capital Markets (ECM) and corporate mergers & acquisitions (M&A)
• Experience working for a listed company

Where will you be working?
