Description
We are looking for a bright, capable Legal Assistant to support our Legal & HR team within a multi-jurisdiction financial services business. This is a hands-on role suited to a graduate with a year or two of experience, ideally in fintech or another regulated environment, who has already been working in a legal, contract or compliance role, and is now looking to broaden their skillset. You do not need to be a qualified lawyer, and we are not necessarily looking for someone with many years of experience. We are looking for someone legally minded and genuinely interested in how a regulated business operates: sharp. You should be well-organised, and able to work quickly and accurately across a varied workload. In return, you will gain broad exposure across contracts, regulatory support and day-to-day legal operations, with real room to grow. Who we are Trade Nation is a global CFD and spread betting broker. We help traders make better decisions through clear market insights, transparent pricing and fairer approach to trading. Since 2014, we’ve grown into a market-leading, low-cost broker with our headquarters in London and offices across Europe, South Africa, Asia-Pacific, and key offshore regions including the Caribbean and Indian Ocean. Our platform is available in 14 languages, making it accessible to traders worldwide. Built on transparency and trust, and driven by our people, our focus is simple: helping customers trade more effectively. We do that by keeping costs low, cutting unnecessary complexity and using technology to put traders first. Your team Our London office is our headquarters, a short walk from Liverpool Street on the eastern edge of the City, surrounded by plenty of great places to eat and explore. The office offers a modern working environment with spacious communal areas, a bike shed, and showers.
