Deutsche Bank's global head of strategy for legal Emma Slatter is set to leave the bank later this year.
Slatter, who has been with the bank since 1995, is leaving to set up as an independent consultant.
She has been in her current role since January 2016, where her responsibilities included managing the impact on the legal team of the bank's 2020 strategy, which aims to make €3.8bn (£2.9bn) of gross savings by 2018.
Prior to taking up her current role, she was general counsel for the UK and western Europe between 2010 and 2015, managing a team of 200 staff across Europe, the Middle East and South Africa.
Between 2003 and 2010, she was head of global markets legal for western Europe, with responsibility for 75 lawyers.
She joined the bank in 1995 from Slaughter and May, where she had spent six years.
In January this year, Deutsche's general counsel (GC) Richard Walker retired to be replaced by co-GCs Simon Dodds and Christof von Dryander, who had been deputy GCs since 2013.
The bank has had some tough times of late, receiving a record $2.5bn (£1.7bn) fine for its part in the Libor manipulation scandal.
Deutsche had to pay $2.2bn (£1.5bn) to US regulators and £227m ($340m) to the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.
