About Ashurst

Department/Role Overview

Ashurst's Global Risk & Compliance Department is seeking a skilled professional to join our Conflicts & Ethics Team. As a key member of the team, you will be responsible for analyzing new clients and matters to identify and resolve legal and commercial conflicts of interest.

The ideal candidate will possess a clear and confident communication style, with a strong ability to work collaboratively with a dynamic and motivated team. A keen eye for detail and an interest in current affairs are essential, as well as problem-solving skills and professionalism.

You will be part of a global team working together to provide conflicts clearance for our partners and clients, who pursue exciting deals across the globe. Our team is based in Glasgow, but we have colleagues in Brisbane, London, Sydney, and New Zealand.

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.
  • Analyze 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 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 regulatory requirements and internal policies.

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Interest in the work undertaken by a corporate multinational firm.
  • Desire to understand the business and work closely as a team to solve problems.
  • Strong organizational 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.
  • Discretion required to maintain confidential information appropriately.

Education/Qualification (or relevant experience)

  • We welcome applicants from both law and non-law disciplines.
  • Experience in a Compliance department at a law firm or large corporation is essential. Specific Conflicts experience is preferable but not essential.

Background Checks

Ashurst will undertake appropriate vetting of staff to comply with regulatory and client requirements. When applicants accept a job offer, Ashurst will undertake professional verification and background checks, with consent and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.
