Associate – White Collar Crime / Corporate Financial Crime
Location: London
Experience Level: 2-5 PQE
Firm: US Law Firm
We are working with a leading US law firm on a search for an Associate to join its growing and highly regarded White Collar Defence & Investigations team in London.
This is a rare opportunity to join a US practice offering a 1,600-hour annual billable target, providing a particularly attractive balance of high-quality US firm work and a more manageable hours expectation.
The role would suit a lawyer from a leading City, Magic Circle or international firm looking to work on sophisticated, high-value and often cross-border matters for major corporates, financial institutions and senior individuals.
The Opportunity
The role will have a particular focus on corporate financial crime, compliance and investigations, with exposure across:
- Sanctions and export controls
- Anti-money laundering (AML)
- Anti-bribery and corruption (ABC)
- Corporate financial crime compliance
- Corporate due diligence in M&A, investments and joint ventures
- Internal investigations
- Fraud, bribery, corruption and money laundering
- Insider dealing and other financial misconduct
- Regulatory and enforcement matters
- Risk mitigation, remediation and compliance programmes
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work on complex, often multi-jurisdictional matters, collaborating with colleagues across the firm's international network.
There will also be opportunities to advise senior individuals facing criminal, regulatory or reputational exposure, alongside major corporate and financial institution clients.
About You
We are keen to speak with lawyers who have:
- 2-5 years' PQE from a leading City, Magic Circle or comparable international firm.
- Strong experience in white collar crime, corporate crime, investigations, financial crime or regulatory work.
- Meaningful experience across one or more of sanctions, AML, ABC, corporate due diligence or financial crime compliance.
- Experience advising sophisticated corporates and/or financial institutions.
- Strong analytical, drafting and communication skills.
- The ability to manage complex, cross-border matters and engage confidently with senior stakeholders.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience acting for individuals in white collar, criminal, regulatory or internal investigations would be particularly attractive, as would exposure to regulatory enforcement, M&A-related compliance due diligence or working with regulators.
Why Consider It?
This is a particularly compelling opportunity for a lawyer seeking the US firm platform and quality of work without the traditional US-firm hours expectation.
You will have exposure to sophisticated domestic and international matters, a strong client base and the opportunity to develop across white collar investigations, corporate financial crime, compliance and regulatory risk, while working to a 1,600-hour billable target.
