About Eversheds Sutherland
Eversheds Sutherland is not your average law firm and we're not looking for average people. We do things differently - in the way we treat our people and the service we provide.

That's how we've become one of the largest law firms in the world and a great place to work and develop your career.


Recognised as the leading innovators in the legal sector, we are a firm that understands what clients need today and what they will need tomorrow.

We focus on creative and cost-effective solutions for our clients. It is an approach that makes Eversheds Sutherland a distinctive and innovative force in the legal world.

**About the team

The Governance & Compliance (G&C**) team's remit is truly international. Based in the UK, we support the business and our colleagues across the UK, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

The team is responsible for:

all areas of regulatory and legal compliance; client and supplier contracts; new business acceptance and conflict management; risk management and assurance; quality management; and our insurance arrangements including claims and complaints.

We are a young, vibrant team who have benefited from significant investment and are now looking to expand the team once again.


The Financial Crime sub-team is focused on the detection, prevention and deterrence of financial crime, including areas such as bribery and corruption, fraud, market abuse, sanctions and tax evasion.

The team works closely with all other parts of G&C, and particularly closely with our Business Acceptance team, which leads on anti-money laundering.


About the role


No two days are the same and the role will involve a mixture of dealing with ad hoc queries from the business, contributing to strategic projects, and managing ongoing workstreams.

It will also involve working extensively with colleagues across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.


Day-to-day tasks will include things like providing advice and guidance to colleagues on financial crime matters, drafting/reviewing internal policies and processes, developing and delivering training, analyzing new high risk work, reviewing client terms as they relate to financial crime, and assisting with ad hoc reviews.


Strategic projects may include things like devising and implementing new compliance programs in response to new legislation, developing new systems and processes, and supporting our international expansion by assisting with due diligence on new office openings.


This is a high profile role and you will have considerable interaction with legal advisers and colleagues at all levels, including senior management.


We are a supportive team and work closely together, and you will also benefit from being able to draw on the expertise of our lawyers from across the business when required.


Key responsibilities:

  • Researching new laws and regulations relating to financial crime
  • Drafting and updating financial crime policies and reference materials

  • Assisting with the establishment of new systems and processes
  • Reviewing client and supplier terms of business as they relate to financial crime matters
  • Acting as a point of escalation for queries from the Business Acceptance team and Supplier Management team on sanctions and other financial crime issues
  • Producing and delivering training to legal teams and support staff on financial crimerelated issues
  • Acting as a key point of contact for our colleagues across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa on a range of risk and compliance areas, and helping to implement uniform standards across all offices
  • Working with other members of the G&C team and wider business as required to support in the delivery of the firm's growth objectives
  • Working with the Financial Crime team and the wider G&C team to ensure that the firm's legal and regulatory obligations are met and that high standards are maintained across the business
