Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

Regulatory Analysis: Examine legislation, judicial decisions, official guidance and other authoritative materials concerning digital assets and regulated financial activities, applying sound judgement where formal direction remains unclear.
Written Advisory Work: Prepare well-structured internal memoranda, formal opinions and practical regulatory resources covering areas such as MiCA, PSD2, EMD2, payment services and electronic money.
Client Resources: Assist in developing user-friendly tools and guidance documents that make detailed regulatory obligations easier for clients to understand and apply.
Licensing Support: Contribute to licence and authorisation submissions by preparing documentation, gathering supporting information and assisting with communications involving supervisory authorities.
Digital Asset Assessment: Support the evaluation of crypto-assets and their potential regulatory treatment, including cases where classification requires detailed interpretation.
Regulatory Monitoring: Follow relevant developments within the European Union and other applicable markets, summarising changes and assessing how they may affect clients’ activities.
Practice Development: Help strengthen the Business’s expertise and market presence within fintech and regulated financial services through knowledge-sharing and commercial development initiatives.
Team Collaboration: Work constructively with colleagues, share knowledge and contribute to a professional environment founded on cooperation and mutual support.
