The Firm Montagu Evans is a UK property consultancy that helps clients unlock value from complexity, because that’s where the most meaningful opportunities live. Our purpose is to bring clarity, creativity, and conviction to the complex. We are experts who collaborate to create value, not just preserve it and our team is built for impact, not oversight. We specialise in high-value, complex assets across the property lifecycle, where political, technical or commercial challenges demand a joined-up approach. The Team/Department We are seeking a pragmatic and solution orientated commercial counsel to join the Risk & Compliance team at Montagu Evans. As the firm’s first internal legal role, the commercial counsel will provide practical legal and contractual support on live matters, bids, appointments and client terms, while also helping to embed a more consistent approach to contractual and legal risk across the business. The role will help build a scalable internal legal capability: creating clear routes for legal review, improving contract guardrails and playbooks, strengthening contractual standards and bringing legal insight earlier into client pursuits, bids and negotiations. The role will sit within Business Services and work closely with fee-earners, the Head of Risk, the bid team, IT and external counsel to improve how the firm reviews, negotiates and manages legal and contractual risk. Role Overview Reporting to the Head of Risk, the Commercial Counsel will provide practical, commercially focused legal support on the firm’s agreements with clients, whether on Montagu Evans standard terms or client-side terms. The role will establish a clear legal triage model, review and sign-off guardrails, and standard positions so that contractual matters are handled at the right level based on value, risk, complexity and strategic importance. Where specialist advice is required, the role will act as the conduit between fee-earners and external counsel, managing those relationships and ensuring external legal spend is targeted, proportionate and fit for purpose.

Department: Technology Location: London Defaqto is one of the most trusted names in UK financial services research and ratings, and our technology turns deep market data into decisions that advisers, providers and consumers rely on every day. The credibility of that output rests on the quality of our engineering. We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to be the most senior individual contributor in our Technology function. Reporting to the Head of Engineering and working closely with the CTO, you will own how we build software at Defaqto: our engineering standards and practices, our technical direction, and above all the shift from AI-assisted coding towards AI-led delivery, with engineers directing and verifying rather than typing. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role without the requirement of management, unless you are keen to do so. You will guide several squads, earning influence through judgement, craft and delivered outcomes. You will also take direct technical ownership of the initiatives that carry the most technical risk or the most upside at any given time. Our current focus is opening Defaqto data to developers and AI agents through well‑governed APIs and MCP servers, but the role is defined by the level you operate at, not by any one product — expect what you own to change as our priorities do. You will also be a genuine sounding board for technology leadership, as comfortable shaping a multi‑year technical strategy as unblocking a production problem this afternoon. If you are the engineer other engineers go to when a decision really matters, and you want the remit to raise the bar across a whole organisation rather than a single team, this is that role. Lead our shift from AI-assisted coding to AI-led delivery • Own the trajectory: take us from engineers using assistants to help write code, to engineers directing agents that write it — with the human firmly in the loop as architect, reviewer and accountable owner rather than as the typist., • Define what good looks like at each step of that shift: context and prompt engineering, agent‑readable codebases (clear structure, strong typing, rich tests, machine‑readable specs and repository guidance), and tooling that makes agent output reproducible rather than lucky., • Make the review layer the new craft. Raise our standards for reading, verifying and hardening generated code: tests as the contract, static analysis and security scanning inside the loop, and no unreviewed AI‑authored change reaching production., • Rebuild our practices around specification over syntax, so engineers spend their time on problem framing, acceptance criteria, architecture and verification instead of on implementation keystrokes., • Run structured experiments with new models, agents and workflows. Measure lead time, change failure rate, review burden and developer experience, and retire anything that does not earn its place., • Set the guardrails that make this safe in a regulated business: secure and licence‑aware tooling, provenance and auditability for generated code, client and personal data kept inside approved boundaries, and a named human accountable for everything that ships., • Take the organisation with you. Coach engineers through the identity shift from writing code to engineering outcomes, and make the sceptics as fluent as the enthusiasts. Turn developer practices into engineering practices, • Move us beyond individual developer habits to engineering discipline that holds at organisational scale — and at the change volume that agentic delivery produces., • Codify practice into the paved road: templates, scaffolds, pipelines, linters, policy‑as‑code, automated checks and agent instructions, so the right thing is the easy thing for humans and agents alike., • Define, document and continuously evolve the engineering standards that apply across Defaqto Technology — code review, testing, branching, observability, security by design, documentation and definition of done., • Hold the line on quality in a way teams welcome: coaching, pairing and reviewing rather than policing. Be our evangelist for software craftsmanship, and help raise the hiring bar to match it. Take hands‑on technical ownership of the problems that matter most, • Own the initiatives that carry the most technical risk or the most upside, end to end — architecture, build, launch and the operational reality afterwards. What that is will change as our priorities do; the level at which you operate will not., • Design platforms and integration surfaces for both the consumers we have and the ones we are gaining: human developers and AI agents. Machine‑readable capability discovery, unambiguous tool definitions, MCP servers and other agent‑facing interfaces where they fit, semantics an agent can reason over, predictable errors, idempotency, and rate limiting that behaves sensibly under agentic access patterns., • Build data governance into the technology rather than into a policy handbook: entitlements and licensing enforced at the point of access, per‑consumer scoping, lineage and provenance carried with the data, and full audit of which human or agent accessed what, and when., • Make quality and trust observable — data contracts, freshness and quality signals exposed to consumers, and semantics clear enough that a consumer cannot silently misread a rating or a field., • Care about the consumption experience end to end: self‑service onboarding, keys and sandboxes, SDKs, documentation as a product, usage analytics, versioning and deprecation. Treat time to first successful call, by a person or an agent, as a metric you own. Partner with Product to add technology value, • Act as the technical validation point for product ideas, pressure‑testing feasibility, cost, risk and sequencing early, before commitments are made., • Bring technology‑led opportunities to the table: things our data, platform and AI capability make possible that Product had not thought to ask for., • Translate between commercial intent and technical reality in both directions, without diluting either. Guide squads and evolve the tech stack, • Guide multiple teams within your squad towards sound, well‑supported technology choices, and away from novelty for its own sake., • Own continuous improvement of the tech stack with clear, valued outcomes: every material change carries a stated benefit, a measure and a migration plan., • Lead the architecture decisions that cross team boundaries, document them as ADRs, and keep our technical debt position honest and visible. Be a strategic and tactical sounding board, • Act as trusted counsel to the Head of Engineering, the CTO and the wider leadership team on both long‑range strategy and this week’s trade‑offs., • Represent engineering reality in commercial, regulatory and roadmap conversations., • Stay hands‑on — build, review and verify on the work that matters most. Essential requirements:, • Substantial commercial software engineering experience, including time at staff, principal or equivalent level, with a track record of technical influence well beyond your own team., • Deep, current, hands‑on engineering ability in a modern stack, with the breadth to stay credible outside your strongest language. Our core stack is a mix of .NET / C# and TypeScript on Azure, Python and PHP, with SQL and modern data tooling., • Real, evidenced experience leading agentic and AI‑assisted development in a production engineering organisation — not just personal use of an assistant. You can show how you changed a team’s practices, what you measured, and how you kept quality and accountability intact., • A clear point of view on the engineering practices that make AI‑lead delivery work at all and …, • Experience building or operating agent‑facing integration surfaces — MCP servers, tool‑calling interfaces or similar., • Financial services, fintech or regulated data experience, and comfort treating FCA and UK GDPR / ICO expectations as design constraints rather than afterthoughts., • Experience with data products, business intelligence or analytics platforms — data modelling, contracts, quality, lineage and entitlements., • Experience of a developer portal, API marketplace or platform‑as‑a‑product., • Platform engineering and developer experience work: CI/CD, internal developer platforms, golden paths, policy‑as‑code and self‑service tooling., • Event‑driven architecture, and experience of legacy modernisation or migration programmes., • Contribution to the wider engineering community — open source, writing, speaking or standards work., • Pragmatic. You optimise for outcomes and maintainability, not for elegance or novelty., • Generous. You make other engineers better, and you take real pleasure in it., • Evidence‑led. You hold strong opinions loosely and change your mind when the data says so., • Direct and kind. You disagree well, in the open, and commit fully once a decision is made., • Curious and current. You keep learning fast in a field that is moving fast, and you bring what you learn back to the organisation., • Steady under pressure. You are the calm one when something is on fire. Location: Hybrid — London or Haddenham office, with the flexibility to work remotely for part of the week. You will spend regular time on site with your squads and with product and leadership colleagues. Applicants must already hold a legal right to work in the UK without time restrictions and without the need for future sponsorship. We are unable to provide Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Fintel plc and all the businesses within it adopt a zero‑tolerance approach to discrimination on any of the protected grounds in the Equality Act 2010. We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership. We aspire to have a diverse workforce because, in our view, diversity enables better business outcomes.

From application to interview, we place inclusion at the heart of all we do. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Live Bermuda vacancies | Corporate, Funds, Finance & Restructuring | Low-tax salaries | Relocation support • Corporate Senior Associate (5-8 PQE) with a large offshore law firm., • Corporate Lawyer with an elite boutique law firm (All levels considered from Associate to Counsel)., • Corporate Lawyer with Bermuda experience (5+ PQE) for a large offshore law firm., • Corporate Restructuring Lawyer for an elite boutique firm (All levels considered from Associate to Counsel)., • Funds Lawyer with an elite boutique law firm (All levels considered from Associate to Counsel)., • Finance Lawyer with funds finance/leveraged finance experience (3+ PQE) for a large offshore firm. These are exciting times in the Bermudian market. Long regarded as a blue-chip offshore financial centre and the gold-standard jurisdiction for (re)insurance work, in recent years the island has seen significant growth across investment funds, fintech, blockchain and digital assets. The legal market has mirrored this, with several global offshore firms establishing Bermuda offices to compete with the long standing market leaders and elite boutiques. It has created a more dynamic sector, with more opportunities for lawyers from entry level (3 years’ PQE) right through to Senior Counsel and in some cases Partners. Requirements To get a work permit in Bermuda, non-Bermudian lawyers will need to be admitted, and have at least 3 years’ PQE, in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa). For the roles listed above, candidates are likely to need relevant experience from a respected UK/international commercial law firm, or from another firm in the offshore sector. Packages Salaries vary somewhat depending on the firm and the role but as a broad guideline, a 3 years’ PQE lawyer is likely to be earning from $145k-$180k, with the most senior associates well into the $200k’s and counsel in the mid to high $200k’s. All firms have the usual benefits and provide comprehensive relocation assistance (flights, temporary accommodation, cash allowance). The cost of living is high in Bermuda but this is offset by the very low tax rates. Bermuda Bermuda offers you the opportunity to live and work in one of the world’s most desirable locations. The island benefits from a mild year-round climate, never too cold in the winter and rarely too hot in the summer. It is famed for its picture-postcard pink sand beaches and crystal-clear ocean, but it also has plenty of history and boasts all the attractions associated with a luxury holiday destination. And if you should need a break from island life, with regular direct flights to London, New York and other parts of the US, it is particularly well connected. Origin Legal International We've been helping lawyers make offshore moves for over 25 years. If one of the above roles is of interest, get in touch and we can share further details. Even if none of these opportunities looks quite right, we're always happy to have a confidential and informal conversation with lawyers considering a move to Bermuda or other offshore locations in the future.

Snr. Legal Counsel Monster Energy - EMEAO West London, Hybrid Are you a Legal Counsel ready to take that next step towards Senior Legal Counsel? This could be a very interesting one! Monster Energy is continuing to grow across EMEAO and, with that growth, comes greater legal and regulatory complexity. As a result, the business is adding a brand-new Legal Counsel to its Legal, Regulatory & Compliance team. This is new headcount, not a replacement. The opportunity is particularly suited to a strong Legal Counsel who feels ready for more ownership and responsibility, or someone who has recently stepped into Senior Legal Counsel and wants a broader international remit. And importantly, this isn't a contracts orientated role. The opportunity This is a broad in-house position covering legal and regulatory matters across Monster's EMEAO business. You'll work closely with teams across the organisation, advising on areas including product regulation, government affairs, sustainability and packaging legislation, anti-trust and wider legal risk. That could mean advising on product compliance and labelling, assessing risk around nutrition and health claims, supporting new product development, engaging with regulators or helping the business understand and respond to new legislation across different markets. You'll also have exposure to trade associations and government affairs, as well as the opportunity to support and mentor members of the paralegal team depending on your experience. It's a role where you'll be expected to do more than identify legal risk. Monster wants someone who can understand the issue, make a judgement call and give the business a clear, practical recommendation. What are we looking for? You don't need experience across every area of the role. We're looking for a qualified lawyer with strong Legal Counsel experience, either in-house or from private practice, who is comfortable operating in a fast-moving commercial environment. (6+ years PQE) Experience in any of the following could be relevant: • Product regulatory / food law, • Competition / anti-trust, • Government or regulatory affairs, • Sustainability / packaging legislation, • Broader in-house legal and regulatory work A generalist in-house Legal Counsel background could work particularly well, while experience within FMCG, CPG food or beverage would be highly relevant rather than essential. More than anything, we're looking for someone with the confidence to take ownership: someone commercially minded, comfortable working autonomously and able to turn complex legal issues into straightforward advice for the wider business. If you're already performing strongly as a Legal Counsel but can't see where the progression to Senior Legal Counsel is going to come from, that's exactly why this opportunity is worth exploring. You'll be joining an international business that is continuing to grow, taking on a genuinely broad remit across EMEAO with the opportunity to build your level of responsibility alongside it. Interested? Apply directly or contact Ellis at The Advocate Group for a confidential conversation.
