Role Overview

The Conflicts & Ethics Team within our Global Risk & Compliance Department is responsible for analysing new clients and matters to identify and resolve legal and commercial conflicts of interest. This role is ideal for an individual with a clear and confident communication style, and a desire to work collaboratively with a dynamic and motivated team.

Main Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain knowledge of professional conduct rules applicable in the UK and across countries where Ashurst lawyers practice.
  • Use research skills to identify and verify clients, third parties, and assets involved in new business requests.
  • Apply understanding of legal transactions to determine relationships between parties involved in a matter, and liaise with partners and lawyers if necessary.
  • Analyse information in the firm's conflict management systems and other databases to identify potential conflicts of interest.
  • Work collaboratively with team members and Senior Management to find solutions to potential legal and commercial conflicts.
  • Record excellent phone notes, legal and commercial analysis to serve as a record of compliance for insurers, regulators, and firm management.
  • Maintain the highest standards of data quality within the conflicts database.
Other Tasks
  • Work across function groups (Finance, HR, IT, Business Development) to tackle projects and solve problems.
  • Take advantage of continuous professional development opportunities and carefully planned career development.
  • Assist in preparing and delivering training and other compliance education sessions for the business.
Risk and Control

Ensure all activities and duties are carried out in full compliance with our regulatory requirements and internal policies.

Essential Skills and Experience
  • An interest in the work undertaken by a corporate multinational firm.
  • A desire to understand the business and work closely as a team to solve problems.
  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work well under pressure.
  • Strong IT literacy and ability to adapt to new processes and technology quickly.
  • Strong interpersonal skills required to engage all levels of legal and support staff.
  • The discretion required to maintain confidential information appropriately.
Education/Qualification (or relevant experience)
  • We welcome applicants from both law and non-law disciplines.
