G6 Senior Lawyer
London
£63,734 to £75,200
ABOUT US
The Government Legal Department (GLD) is the largest provider of legal services across the many different government departments. Our work touches on most aspects of public life, providing legal advice on everything from roads and rivers to health and human rights.
The Treasury Legal Advisers division of the GLD is the in-house legal team of HM Treasury (HMT) - the UK's finance and economics ministry. We provide legal advice to ministers and officials across all of HMT's functions, including the regulation of financial services, public spending, public sector pensions, market interventions, trade negotiations, sanctions, money laundering, and illicit finance.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're hiring a Senior Lawyer to join one of the teams within the Treasury Legal Advisers division.
Ideally, you'll have an honours degree in any subject graded 2.1 or higher or equivalent if you hold an overseas degree qualification. We will also consider applicants who do not have a 2.1 degree, but only if you can provide evidence of professional achievement, qualifications, or experience that satisfies the requirements of this Senior Lawyer role.
You'll have a thorough understanding of public law and an understanding of the role of lawyers working within the government.
You'll be able to competently and reliably make legal judgements and anticipate legal risks. You'll also ensure service delivery adheres to legal, regulatory, and security requirements, both within our division and across the many other government divisions we provide legal advice to.
It would be helpful to have experience or knowledge of some of the laws and regulations covered within the Treasury Legal Advisers division (such as financial crime, financial services regulation, or trade law).
We're looking for a strategic thinker who sees the bigger picture - someone who can spot legal issues in their wider context and advise accordingly. You'll be a great communicator, translating complex and sometimes sensitive information in a clear and concise way that's easy to understand.
We're looking for a team player who's ready to build strong relationships both with colleagues and key stakeholders around the organisation.
Benefits
GLD encourages its people to develop their skills and provides the opportunity to move between advisory, litigation, employment and commercial law services during your career, should you wish to do so. Other benefits include access to a valuable civil service pension and flexible working arrangements.
