Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This opportunity would suit a qualified lawyer with at least 2+ years' PQE, with strong analytical skills, commercial judgement, and the confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders.
Previous conflicts, new business intake, AML, or law firm risk experience would be advantageous, particularly within a US or international firm, but is not essential. Applications are also welcomed from fee-earners who can demonstrate a genuine interest in transitioning into conflicts and professional ethics.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop a specialist career within an elite international law firm, combining legal analysis, commercial decision-making, and senior stakeholder exposure in a collaborative global environment.
