Financial Services Regulatory NQ - 2 Solicitor - Global Law Firm - Dubai

Financial Services Regulatory NQ - 2 Solicitor - Global Law Firm - Dubai

A leading international law firm is looking to hire a junior Financial Services Regulatory Associate into its Dubai practice.

The role offers excellent exposure to a broad range of financial regulatory matters, with a particular focus on the rapidly developing areas of payments, fintech, crypto and digital assets across the UAE and wider Middle East.

The team advises financial institutions, fintech businesses, payment service providers, digital asset companies and technology-driven platforms on complex regulatory, licensing and compliance matters, often involving cross-border considerations.

The role will include:

• Payments and payment services, including payment processing, wallets and cross-border payment structures
• Fintech regulation, platform structuring, market entry and regulatory strategy
• Crypto and digital assets, including tokenisation, exchanges, custodians and stablecoins
• Broader financial services regulation across banking, securities, funds and investment services
• Licensing and authorisation before UAE financial services regulators
• Regulatory compliance, enforcement and investigations
• Cross-border regulatory matters involving international regulatory frameworks

The firm is particularly interested in candidates NQ (September 2026), with financial regulatory experience gained at a leading Legal 500 law firm or within a strong financial services / fintech environment. Exposure to payments, fintech and/or crypto and digital assets would be particularly relevant.

The team already has strength at the mid-senior associate level and is therefore looking to add at the more junior end. With the firm's continued expansion across the UAE, there is also an opportunity to become involved in the development of its fintech, payments and digital assets offering across both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Competitive tax free remuneration and package on offer to attract a high calibre candidate.

This is a strong opportunity to join an established international financial regulatory practice working in some of the fastest-developing areas of the Middle East financial services market.
