As part of the Global Litigation Department, Wealth Management Investigations handles internal investigations and regulatory enforcement matters for the Wealth Management business segment, which includes advisor-led, self-directed (E*TRADE), and workplace channels.
Position Responsibilities
Morgan Stanley is seeking an investigations attorney to handle a docket of internal and regulatory enforcement investigations and inquiries for its Wealth Management business. This includes internal investigations involving potential employee misconduct and regulatory enforcement matters related to the Firm's broker-dealers, investment advisers, banks, digital platforms such as E*TRADE, other entities, and Firm employees. Candidates must be able to manage independently a large volume of internal investigations of employee conduct and regulatory enforcement matters conducted by the SEC, FINRA, DOJ and state regulators. Experience conducting internal investigations and handling regulatory enforcement matters is essential. The position requires strong oral and written advocacy, analytical skills, creativity, and the ability to communicate effectively with clients, colleagues, and regulators. This is a hands-on position, but the attorney will also direct and supervise a variety of outside counsel for certain matters. Success in this environment requires the candidate to be self-motivated, independent, and resourceful, as most matters are staffed and handled in-house with one lawyer, but also to work as part of a team. The attorney will interface with front office clients as well as partners in Legal, Compliance, Risk, Operations, Technology, and other departments at the Firm. The position includes administrative responsibilities for case management and other internal and external reporting related to matters.

• Coordinate and collaborate with colleagues in other units of the Firm, including Legal, Compliance, Risk, HR, Operations, Technology, Corporate Communications and the business units

• Occasional domestic travel required

What You Bring:
