A leading UK law firm (Top 60 by revenue) is looking to expand its established White Collar Crime & Business Crime team.

The Team & Work

You’ll join a team that advises and represents both corporate and individual clients facing investigations or proceedings from major enforcement bodies such as HMRC, FCA, SFO, NCA, and HSE. Matters handled by the team include:

• Serious fraud and cross-border financial crime
• Tax evasion, insider trading, and crypto-related fraud
• Corporate manslaughter, bribery, and corruption
• Cybercrime, money laundering, and proceeds of crime
• FCA investigations and regulatory offences
• Breaches of UK, US, EU, and UN sanctions

The department is well-supported by relationships with top-tier barristers, forensic experts, and technical specialists across disciplines such as DNA, digital forensics, and financial analysis.

What Makes This Role Stand Out?

• Hybrid Working: Only 2 days per week in the office
• Collaborative Culture: Regular social and team-building activities

About You

• You’ll be a qualified solicitor with experience in white collar or general crime, ideally with exposure to investigations led by bodies such as the SFO, FCA, or HMRC.
• Higher Rights of Audience or a willingness to develop advocacy experience would be advantageous.
