• Supporting the firm’s risk management framework across multiple legal practice areas.
• Handling compliance queries and supporting internal staff via a central mailbox and phone.
• Conducting procedural file reviews and monitoring AML alerts via SmartSearch.
• Managing regulatory processes, including maintaining SRA records and practising certificates.
• Assisting in data protection matters, regulatory research, and external assessments (e.g., Lexcel, CQS).
• Delivering internal training and supporting team-wide compliance initiatives.

What we’re looking for:

• A law degree or equivalent legal training.
• A genuine interest in Risk & Compliance.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage tasks independently.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

What you’ll get in return:

You’ll be part of a supportive and experienced team in a firm that invests in your growth.

Benefits include:

• 25+ days of annual leave (plus Christmas closure)
• Private medical insurance (with family options)
• Travel pass and parking loans
