A prominent law firm is seeking a Risk Lawyer to join their Bristol office on a full-time basis. The ideal candidate will have some experience in Risk & Compliance or an interest in the field and should demonstrate strong writing skills and the ability to work collaboratively. The role involves assisting senior lawyers and handling various compliance queries within the firm's Risk & Compliance team.
Job Title: Risk Lawyer (12-month FTC). Role: Full Time. Department: Business Services. Location: Bristol. Experience: Business Services.
The Risk & Compliance (R&C) team at RPC provides risk related advice, guidance on compliance and general support to the firm. In an increasingly complex and regulated environment, our lawyers depend on an efficient R&C team to give sound and timely guidance and advice. As currently configured, the team only deals with conflicts and CDD queries by exception. We are looking to recruit a risk lawyer to join our R&C team to assist the more senior lawyers in the team. The team led by our General Counsel consists of ten members within the team who are a mix of qualified lawyers and compliance specialists.
The ideal candidate will already have some experience in legal Risk & Compliance or be someone with an interest in developing their career in this area. They would be a solicitor or other qualified legal professional, but we will consider someone soon to be admitted or an existing solicitor apprentice. Outstanding candidates who are not qualified but with appropriate experience in a Risk & Compliance team will also be considered.
We are problem solvers. Whether in front of clients or behind the scenes. To solve problems creatively for clients, we need diverse collaborative thinking; drawing on different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives. That means that everyone who either applies to, or works for, the firm is treated equitably. We believe in removing barriers to equal access not least because our people define us and define what we do. If you need support and adjustments to do your best work, whether that's during the recruitment process or throughout your time at RPC, we're here to help.
Flexible working that supports your commitments outside of work is an important part of our culture and, where possible, we will support this across all roles. Please get in touch with our recruitment team if you have any questions about our hybrid working approach or flexible working policy.
