• Investigate potential compliance violations

• Conduct ongoing monitoring of clients and enhanced client due diligence checks for higher-risk clients


It is essential that you have a solid background and experience in legal compliance and AML from another London law firm as well as having in-depth knowledge of SRA regulations and legal sector money launderings risks. You must also have excellent communication skills as you will be liaising and partnering with fee earners to advise on risk management.


This is an excellent opportunity for a compliance analyst who is looking to take on more responsibility in a top, tier 1 law firm.

• Regularly review and update internal policies and procedures

• Maintaining compliance registers

• Conducting new joiner and other ad hoc training for staff on the firm's compliance policies and procedures


Our client does not necessarily need a legal risk and compliance background but you must have had some exposure to risk and compliance work (this can be from another law firm, or corporate/professional services environment) and a genuine interest in progressing your career within legal risk and compliance.


You must be quick learner with excellent attention to detail and confident communication skills.
