Private Bank Legal Counsel

This is an exciting opportunity to join Barclays as a Private Bank Legal Counsel based in Singapore. You will be responsible for ensuring that the activities in the Private Bank & Wealth Management division are conducted in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to help the bank manage legal and reputational risks associated with these activities. You will also support the Private Bank & Wealth Management business by providing end-to-end legal and regulatory coverage across its capital markets, banking, credit and investment offerings, including structured products, derivatives (OTC and exchange-traded), FX and fixed income, discretionary portfolio management, investment advice/execution-only services, custody and payments. The role requires independent, proactive management of existing and emerging legal risks, partnering closely with business and control functions (Compliance, Risk, Chief Controls Office) to deliver practical, commercially minded advice and maintain a strong control environment. Given the cross-border nature of PBWM, the lawyer also collaborates with global legal teams on licensing and regulatory issues, helps shape new products, policies and platforms, manages external counsel efficiently, and supports on disputes where needed, while demonstrating strong communication, influencing and stakeholder-management skills and keeping abreast of regulatory developments across Singapore and the wider APAC region.
