Life is Good
Picture this… you’re one of the world’s leading wealth managers, with nearly 50,000 employees and more than $1.5T in assets under management. Serving your customers with care and an entrepreneurial spirit, you’ve been building lasting value since the 1800s.
Big Challenge
But, you have to create a series of complex commercial agreements to service a new series of investment funds, and your in-house legal team lacks the capacity and specific expertise to get it done. You need to bring in someone who can seamlessly integrate with your legal and compliance teams and skillfully navigate marker and regulatory development – and do it all as flexibly and cost-effectively as possible.
