London, Greater London, United Kingdom AJ FOX COMPLIANCE Full time

Our client, an innovative Global Law Firm, is in need of a Senior Financial Crime Lawyer in London. The core function of this role will be to provide guidance to senior management staff with financial crime-related projects. You will act as an escalation point for complex queries from the current financial crime lawyers, along with mentoring new joiners, existing financial crime lawyers and those in the wider team.

We are looking for a seasoned, qualified lawyer with expertise in AML, sanctions and other financial crime risks. Experience gained within an international law firm is greatly desired, meanwhile a strong knowledge of current legislation (AML, Terrorist Financing, UK sanctions regime) would prove advantageous. Lastly, prior experience with delivering AML and/or other financial crime training is desirable, but non-essential.

Some responsibilities:

  • Draft financial crime reports for senior management
  • Review suspicious activity reports
  • Manage and train financial crime lawyers and other team members
  • Collaborate with and support senior staff in projects, audits and inspections
  • Support international offices where needed
  • Offer guidance on various compliance issues, such as AML, financial sanctions, fraud prevention
  • Review complex queries from the financial crime team and serve as an escalation point
  • Manage financial crime escalations
  • Support the financial crime audit programme
  • Develop policies to meet firm standards and conform with relevant regulatory requirements
  • Assist in the preparation of firm-wide risk assessments

The ideal candidate will have strong problem-solving, decision-making and communication skills. Someone driven, disciplined and able to work independently under pressure will excel in this role. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you

If interested, please submit your CV to be considered for this opportunity. Thank you.
