Abound

General Counsel

• Regulatory submissions: draft submissions and supporting materials to a high standard such as Appointed Representative/IAR applications, waiver/modification requests, applications for new permissions and similar submissions, liaising with external counsel where needed.
• New markets: identify and communicate key legal and regulatory matters for new products, markets and geographies that we are considering. Working closely with others, ensure that decisions about new markets are well-informed and that subsequent entry is well-managed.
• Draft & maintain customer credit documentation across the lifecycle (pre‑contract and post‑contract), including credit agreements, PCCI, adequate explanations, statements, and notices (e.g. NOSIAs and Default Notices). Maintain suite of customer documentation, managing versioning and approvals. Check accurate deployment into production.
• Risk advice and governance: provide clear, pragmatic advice to the CCO and senior management on risks and mitigations in your area; log actions and drive them to closure.
• External advice: commission advice from legal and other advisers on discrete questions, track progress, and capture learning back into templates and guidance.
• Assist with broader legal work: work with a more senior lawyer to prepare/review and negotiate the commercial agreements governing entry into new markets and introduction of new products, review and negotiate supply terms for the products and services essential to our business and review and negotiate NDAs.
• Support broader compliance activities: working with the Compliance team, help to identify key compliance risks and where needed monitor and control these risks. This may entail detailed loan-by-loan review work.
