Financial Regulatory Partner Uae

The opportunity

A leading international law firm is seeking a financial regulatory partner to lead and grow its financial services regulatory offering from Dubai — across the DIFC, ADGM, onshore UAE and the wider Gulf.

The role

• Lead financial services regulatory work — licensing and authorisations, regulatory advisory, compliance and enforcement‑readiness — for banks, asset managers, payments and fintech clients.
• Originate and build the practice with the backing of the firm's international network.
• Be the senior regulatory voice for the region's financial‑services clients.
• What they're looking for
• A senior financial regulatory lawyer (partner or senior‑counsel level) with deep Gulf regulatory knowledge.
• Based in Dubai.
• A portable book of business is essential — a following that moves with you; level and package structured to that book.
• Added advantage
• A focus on technology and communications— fintech, payments, digital assets, regtech.
• On offer
• Immediate equity — a day‑one equity partnership
  , not a prove‑it‑first arrangement.
• A highly competitive package, the platform and brand of a global firm, and international referral work.
