Base pay range

Our client, an innovative Global Law Firm, is in need of a Senior Financial Crime Lawyer in London. The core function of this role will be to provide guidance to senior management staff with financial crime-related projects. You will act as an escalation point for complex queries from the current financial crime lawyers, along with mentoring new joiners, existing financial crime lawyers and those in the wider team.

We are looking for a seasoned, qualified lawyer with expertise in AML, sanctions and other financial crime risks. Experience gained within an international law firm is greatly desired, meanwhile a strong knowledge of current legislation (AML, Terrorist Financing, UK sanctions regime) would prove advantageous. Lastly, prior experience with delivering AML and/or other financial crime training is desirable, but non-essential.

Some responsibilities:

Draft financial crime reports for senior management
Review suspicious activity reports
Manage and train financial crime lawyers and other team members
Collaborate with and support senior staff in projects, audits and inspections
Support international offices where needed
Offer guidance on various compliance issues, such as AML, financial sanctions, fraud prevention
Review complex queries from the financial crime team and serve as an escalation point
Support the financial crime audit programme
Develop policies to meet firm standards and conform with relevant regulatory requirements
Assist in the preparation of firm-wide risk assessments

The ideal candidate will have strong problem-solving, decision-making and communication skills. Someone driven, disciplined and able to work independently under pressure will excel in this role. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you!

If interested, please submit your CV to be considered for this opportunity. Thank you.
