Key Responsibilities

• Review new matter intake requests to ensure client and matter information is clear, accurate and complete.
• Analyse conflicts reports and undertake research using internal databases, external sources and other relevant resources to identify potential conflicts of interest.
• Prepare concise, well-structured reports highlighting potential conflicts issues for review by the relevant attorneys.

• Escalate complex conflicts issues and unresolved matters to the Senior Conflicts Attorney and other relevant members of the Office of General Counsel.
• Support conflicts clearance relating to new business and lateral attorney recruitment.

Suitable candidates will have previous experience in conflicts analysis, research and resolution, ideally gained within a law firm or a similar professional services environment. You will be confident reviewing complex information, identifying potential risks and communicating your findings clearly to legal stakeholders.
