An established, internationally focused City law firm is looking to welcome a Compliance Assistant into its growing Risk & Compliance team.
If you’ve already got around 12 months of experience in legal compliance and want to step up, this role gives you the platform: exposure to AML/KYC, risk management, audits, and direct interaction with senior stakeholders across the business.
The Role

* Client onboarding and AML/KYC checks.
* File reviews and spot checks against SRA, Lexcel, and ISO standards.
* Keeping compliance registers and manuals up to date.
* Preparing for internal and external audits.
* Supporting training, reporting, and governance projects.
* Providing general admin support to the compliance team.
What They’re Looking For
* At least 12 months’ experience in a compliance role within a law firm or professional services.
* Solid knowledge of AML/KYC and regulatory frameworks.
* Organised, detail-focused, and confident handling sensitive information.
* Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset.
Desirable (but not essential):
* Experience with Lexcel, ISO or accreditation processes.
* A degree in Law, Business, or a related subject.
* Familiarity with compliance systems and AML databases.
What’s on Offer
* Salary up to £40,000 (DOE).
* City of London base with hybrid working.
* A broad role where you’ll gain real exposure and career progression.
* The chance to work closely with senior stakeholders in a respected, international-facing law firm.
