Requirements
Who You Are:
- You are qualified to practice law or act as a Registered In House Counsel in either California or New York. You have at least 5+ years of post-qualification experience working in a law firm and/or in-house legal department. Existing in-house experience is preferable but not essential.

- You consistently deliver clear, concise, practical and pragmatic advice, and a proven track record to make risk-based decisions and to develop innovative and business-focused solutions to regulatory challenges and developments.
- You are comfortable working at pace and in areas where there is no perfect answer and might be highly ambiguous, have a proven willingness to dig in on the details of projects and work well as part of a team — both with other lawyers and with non-legal partners.
