Job description

AML Analyst – International Law Firm

Location: London

Salary: £60,000

I'm working with a leading international law firm in London that’s looking to hire an AML Analyst to join their busy and collaborative Risk & Compliance team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with solid AML experience gained exclusively within a law firm environment, who is now looking to develop their career further in a well-established, full-service firm.

In this role, you’ll be supporting client onboarding and ongoing monitoring, conducting due diligence, reviewing KYC documentation, assisting with conflict checks, and escalating any higher-risk matters. You'll work closely with colleagues across departments and contribute to maintaining high standards of regulatory compliance across the business.

The ideal candidate will have 1–3 years’ experience in an AML or KYC role within a law firm setting, with a good understanding of UK AML regulations, strong attention to detail, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. An AML or compliance qualification, such as an ICA Certificate, would be an advantage but isn’t essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a top-tier firm where you’ll gain valuable exposure and be supported in your professional development.
