Hybrid working

We’reworking with a growing law firm that is looking to add an experienced Conflicts Analyst to its growing Risk & Compliance team in Bristol.

This is an excellent opportunity to move beyond day to day conflict checking and become involved in more complex, commercially sensitive clients and matters. You’ll work closely with lawyers and partners, helping the firm navigate potential conflicts while balancing regulatory requirements with excellent client service.

The role?

• Conducting conflict checks for new clients and matters
• Reviewing and analysing complex search results
• Identifying potential legal and commercial conflicts
• Working directly with lawyers and partners to resolve conflicts issues
• Providing clear, practical guidance to stakeholders across the firm
• Supporting the development of conflicts processes and systems
• Sharing knowledge and mentoring more junior members of the team
• Building your expertise and becoming a trusted conflicts specialist within the firm

About you?

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Sound commercial judgement and the ability to assess risk effectively

Experience using Intapp and Security Policy Manager would be advantageous, but it isn’t essential

• Hybrid working (3 days in office)
• Annual firm-performance bonus
• Private medical insurance and access to private and digital GP services
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service
