Om tjänsten
ABOUT THE ROLE
Avarda is continuing its growth, and we are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to help us get there. In this role you will provide
senior legal support on MiFID II regulation, and MiFID related contractual arrangements, working closely with colleagues across
products, and the business as we design and implement the legal and regulatory framework for this new venture. Alongside this
build-out, you will also provide ongoing legal support to Avarda's existing banking business, so the role combines a
forward-looking regulatory project with the day-to-day legal needs of a running bank. We would prefer a lawyer qualified in
Sweden, but we welcome applications from qualified lawyers based in any of our other markets. This is a senior, hands-on role for
someone who wants real ownership of a strategically important build-out, working within an international legal team across
Avarda's European markets.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the group's senior legal expert on MiFID II related regulation, advising the business on licensing and the regulatory
requirements that come with operating an investments business, including designing governance structures, internal policies,
and customer documentation.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with business partners and service providers, and contribute to our contract templates
and contract lifecycle management system
- Provide broader legal advice on topics such as contract law, consumer credit law, data privacy, and banking regulation as they
arise
- Work closely with legal colleagues across Avarda's European markets to share knowledge, align best practice, and contribute to
group-wide initiatives
