This international Law Firm is currently seeking an Associate to join its Disputes, Regulatory, and Investigations Team in Edinburgh or Glasgow. The role focuses on complex financial services disputes, including regulatory and criminal investigations, internal reviews, and financial crime compliance. You will work closely with a cross-office team supporting major financial institutions and multinational clients across sectors such as finance, energy, pharmaceuticals, and media.
The successful candidate will take the lead on complex regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, advise on high-impact financial crime matters—such as money laundering and bribery—and contribute to client engagement and business development. This is a hands-on role requiring strong legal insight, strategic thinking, and a proactive, team-oriented mindset in a fast-evolving regulatory environment.
To be considered, you must have a minimum of 2 years’ PQE and be qualified in Scotland, dual qualified, or qualified in England and Wales. Ideally, you will have gained your experience within a top-tier City firm. Experience in internal investigations for financial institutions and/or corporations is desirable, as is an understanding of financial services law.
This is a full-time position with hybrid working options available.
