A well-known US firm is looking to hire a Conflicts/Staff Lawyer for its London office to join the Conflicts New Business Department, led by the firm’s Deputy General Counsel. The UK team works closely with the US and other international offices, and this is a visible and internationally connected role from the outset.
The Conflicts Lawyer works alongside other Conflicts Lawyers, the Conflicts/AML Analysts, and the Team Administrator to provide an exceptional conflicts clearance and new business intake service to Partners, Associates, and Secretaries across the firm’s global offices. This is an advisory and stakeholder-facing position rather than a purely administrative function.
The Conflicts team is viewed as a business-enabling partner to the firm, balancing robust risk management with commercial pragmatism. The successful candidate will work directly with Partners and senior stakeholders across offices, providing clear, practical, and commercially grounded guidance.
The ideal candidate should:
* Qualified as a lawyer in England & Wales or another common law jurisdiction
* Strong working knowledge of professional conduct rules, including the SRA Code of Conduct and the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct
* Excellent drafting skills
* Strong legal analytical skills
* Commercial awareness, with the ability to balance risk and business needs
* Highly organised, with the ability to manage competing priorities under pressure
