Belfast, United Kingdom Allen & Overy Full time

About the Role

The Engagement Terms Team (ETT) at Allen & Overy is a global function that provides a first-class service to the firm's partners and fee earners, offering strategic legal support on a wide range of client engagement terms and risk-related issues. Engagement terms are the contracts that we need to have in place with each of our clients. They are one of our most fundamental tools of risk management and cover most of our key regulatory and commercial areas of risk as well as the relationships we have with our clients.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as a point of escalation for the ETT paralegals and in-house lawyers, with a particular focus on systematizing responses and processes to ensure consistency and efficiency in handling complex issues.
  • Engage in identification, assessment, and management of risks associated with engagement terms, leveraging systems to analyze data across all jurisdictions within the firm's global network.
  • Lead on the delivery and maintenance of fully systemized processes for engagement terms review with the ETT.
  • Lead the integration of advanced delivery products to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the engagement terms review process.
  • Lead on the delivery of an engagement terms repository working closely with finance and IT.
  • Collaborate with the Head of the ETT to raise risk awareness, designing and delivering training that highlights the importance of systems in managing engagement terms and mitigating risk.

About You

We are looking for a highly organized individual with a strong track record of systemizing processes, ideally within a business acceptance environment. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface at all levels and particularly to win the respect of the partner community, building and developing strong relationships.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in shaping an exciting and global risk management function. You will be a strategic advisor to partners and other senior stakeholders, assisting in developing and maintaining a robust programme of measures to help manage engagement terms and other client-related risks.

Requirements

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to plan ahead.
  • Excellent track record of systemizing processes, ideally within a business acceptance environment.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interface at all levels.
  • Collaborative team player with the ability to nurture and work in a fast-paced, intellectually rigorous environment.
  • High-energy individual who enjoys both the operational and strategic sides of this role and shows great flexibility.
  • Resilient, able to understand that credibility has to be earned in this environment and may take time.
