About the Role

Working alongside two highly experienced career Paralegals and a fabulous Partner, this role works with our Banking & Finance team and focuses on regulation and compliance issues in the financial services industry. The team has a fantastic culture . . . truly collegial with genuine Partner access and no airs and graces. Everyone jumps in to get the work done and really likes and respects each other in the process. You will be exposed to a variety of work in a dynamic and respectful environment.
