Job description

Senior Conflicts Analyst

Top Tier US Law Firm

*Setting Up a New Team*

A super rare opportunity to be one of the first hires as this US law firm sets up its London conflicts team.

The Team

The team is currently solely in the US, but as the firm keeps expanding its London and EMEA offices they have identified the need for a team based in London.

The Role

This is a super exciting opportunity as you can bring your knowledge and experience and help shape the policies and procedures as well as advise on conflicts matters. Currently everything is held to the ABA / US standards, but they are keen to have someone who can provide more advice and see if using the SRA standards means more work is cleared.

On a daily basis the role includes:

• Advising on both new client and new matters
• Analysing complex relationships and identify legal, commercial or ethical conflicts of interest
• Advising fee earners on conflict issues, information barriers, confidentiality obligations and client acceptance
• Supporting the design and implementation of conflicts policies, workflows, systems and reporting mechanisms

About You

It is anticipated you will have at least 5 years experience in conflicts at an international firm. Ideally you will have experience with complex conflicts issues such as with M&A transactions.

You must have experience with SRA code of conduct / SRA conflicts rules and any exposure to US/ABA would be an advantage.

Lunaria Partners are advertising this conflicts advisor role on behalf of our client. We strive to respond to all applications but due to the volume received, this isn't always possible. If you have not heard from us in 7 days your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
