Duties
* Manage the end-to-end onboarding process for new and existing clients on all new matters.
* Working closely with lawyers and the Compliance Manager to ensure all regulatory obligations are met.
* Conduct and review CDD, KYC, and EIDV checks, ensuring requirements are fully satisfied before a matter proceeds.
* Provide clear advice to matter-handling lawyers on next steps and compliance actions arising from due diligence checks.
* Escalate issues to the Compliance Manager when appropriate (e.g., incomplete checks or high-risk findings).
* Open new matters on the case management system and maintain accurate, compliant records throughout.
* Manage the file closure process, liaising with lawyers and clients, and ensuring CDD/KYC information is retained appropriately in accordance with regulatory obligations.
