Job Description
Associate / Senior Associate – Business Crime & Investigations
Top-Tier Specialist Disputes Firm | London
We are a highly ranked specialist litigation firm, internationally recognised for handling some of the most complex, sensitive and high-profile business crime and investigations matters in the market. Our clients come to us when the stakes could not be higher — where reputation, livelihood and liberty are on the line.
Why this role stands out
* Consistently ranked Top Tier by the leading legal directories
* Recently recognised as Litigation Team of the Year and Commercial Disputes Team of the Year at major UK legal awards
* Trusted by multinational corporations, financial institutions, governments, investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals
* Known for taking on cases others won’t — and winning them
This is a rare opportunity to join a truly elite disputes practice while still working in a collaborative, humane and values-driven environment.
️ The Work
You will be exposed to market-leading work from day one, including:
* Business crime and criminal regulatory investigations
* Serious and complex fraud (criminal and civil)
* Corporate investigations and internal reviews
* Anti-money laundering, bribery & corruption
* Financial regulation and economic sanctions
* Criminal antitrust (cartels)
* Cross-border matters, including extradition and mutual legal assistance
* International asset tracing and recovery
* Tax investigations and trust-related disputes
The work is intellectually demanding, fast-moving and often international, offering responsibility and visibility far earlier than in larger full-service firms.

* Technically excellent litigators with strong business crime, fraud or investigations experience
* Comfortable handling complex, document-heavy and sensitive matters
* Commercial, strategic thinkers who can see the bigger picture for clients

* Collaborative team players with strong judgment and integrity
Candidates from City, US or leading boutique firms are encouraged to apply.

* Genuinely supportive and friendly culture
* High standards without the ego
* Real investment in people and long-term careers
* Strong and visible commitment to diversity, inclusion and wellbeing
* A place where your voice is heard and your contribution matters
Why Join?
If you’re looking to:
