Harris Hill is delighted to be working with a global initiative that examines the legal duties of corporate and investor decision-makers in the context of climate and nature risks. We are seeking a qualified US Lawyer with significant expertise in financial services and pensions law to lead the organisation’s US-focused investor workstream.

The position is offered as a fully remote fixed-term contract, and is open to candidates based in either the UK or the USA.

This is a pivotal role aimed at advancing legal clarity around investor fiduciary duties within the US financial system.

A demonstrated interest in the role of law in addressing climate and nature-related financial risks is essential.
