An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a top international law firm as a Senior Risk & Compliance Lawyer in their London office.
The firm has a fantastic reputation globally having established offices across Europe, Asia and the US. This is a particularly exciting time to join them as the Risk & Compliance function is going through a period of change and growth.
Working closely with the Head of Compliance (who is the firm’s COLP, COFA and MLRO), the Risk & Compliance Lawyer will play a pivotal role in the creation of a centralised conflicts & AML function in the London office. You will be responsible for identifying and resolving commercial and contractual conflicts of interest arising under US and English Law, advising partners and lawyers on a broad range of compliance and regulatory issues, drafting and implementing new policies and procedures and delivering risk & compliance training.
This role would suit either a qualified or not qualified compliance lawyer/ compliance professional who has proven experience in developing a centralised conflicts and AML function. This is a number two position to the Head of Compliance and the Senior Risk & Compliance Lawyer will be expected to deputatise when the need arises.
The successful candidate will have the experience and the gravitas to gain credibility with stakeholders and to manage a robust team of compliance professionals effectively.
