We are seeking experienced Financial Services lawyers to support a steady flow of work for leading financial institutions and corporate clients in Sydney. This is a flexible, consultant-style opportunity suited to seasoned lawyers who want greater control over how, when, and where they work while still engaging with market-leading matters.

The work spans banking and finance, derivatives and ISDA documentation, and insolvency and restructuring.

This includes reviewing app screens, marketing campaigns, contract variation notices, and FAQs, and advising on compliance with misleading and deceptive conduct obligations, as well as Design and Distribution Obligations.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders and external advisers, triaging incidents, non-compliance events, regulatory breaches, and privacy breaches within a regulated environment, and providing pragmatic advice that balances legal, commercial, and customer considerations.
