About The Role

• Conducting a timely and accurate review of potential conflict concerns and related new business issues (including legal, relationship and reputational risks)
• Verifying completeness and accuracy of new engagement descriptions, applying an analytical approach to identify and spot new issues and concerns, and escalating those matters to the leadership of the Conflicts team and Company professionals where appropriate
• Applying company conflict policies and procedures as guiding principles in evaluating, tracking and maintaining records of potential issues with new business opportunities
• Communicating timely conflict analysis summaries to internal teams, provide clear and accurate information for client consideration, and facilitate resolution of legal and business issues
• Leveraging internal and external databases and other resources to conduct research, such as to obtain information on the nature of an entity or individual’s role in a particular matter, and identifying relevant corporate affiliations
• Ensuring confidentiality and non-disclosure of information involved in the conflicts review process (this is vital and a core part of our commitment to professionalism and trust)
• Developing an understanding of the company’s expert and business consulting services, and the nature and complexity of company professionals’ work on behalf of clients, in order to best navigate complex business relationships and new business conflict and relationship analysis
