About the Role
Due to the growth of the firm and an ever-changing regulatory environment, we are looking for a pro-active, customer service-focused individual, with a keen eye for detail, to join our Conflicts team.
As an Analyst in the Conflicts team, you will ensure that the Firm complies with its regulatory obligations by managing and mitigating risk. You will play an important role in undertaking conflict checks and associated client inception work supporting the firm's global operation, including but not limited to, managing the terms and matter specifications we hold with clients and producing risk analysis on any publications the firm writes.
The Onboarding team forms part of the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) Directorate and is based across the Firm's Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dubai offices.
The team delivers high-quality advice/guidance to the Firm across all aspects of conflict checking, filtering, and identifying legal, commercial, and contractual conflict issues, including research, investigation, and advice in accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority ('SRA') Code of Conduct. The team also deals with general client and matter inception queries, which includes the implementation of Information Barriers, some elements of matter management, and engagement letter processing. The team works closely with the Conflicts Advisory Team and the Firm's Professional Risk Advisory Committee (PRAC), Conflicts Partner, and Conflicts Committee.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
With a track record of success for providing internal progression, this role offers the opportunity to continuously learn, adapt, and explore various areas of Risk and Compliance, in a stimulating environment fostering individual growth and development.
What You'll Do
- Reviewing, filtering, and resolving conflict search results, including legal and commercial analysis of potential conflicts and confidentiality issues, and escalating only key issues to partners, fee earners, or the Conflicts Advisory Team.
- Liaising with PAs, fee earners, partners, and the wider conflicts team on potential issues and general queries.
- Managing all queries received into the team inbox, including creating and maintaining information barriers, processing extended reports, and handling other ad hoc tasks, and responding to compliance-related queries under supervision.
- Supporting project work, including (but not limited to) the development of workflows and the monitoring of systems and controls.
Who We're Looking For
- Experience of working in risk and compliance within a law firm, accountancy, or financial services environment, is preferred but not essential.
- The ability to conduct extensive research, diligently reviewing Conflicts/supporting documentation, and critically analyzing complex information, identifying key issues, and making informed decisions based on sound judgment.
- The ability to work at pace, managing, and prioritizing conflicting deadlines. Promptly responding to queries, addressing concerns, and taking the initiative to anticipate additional needs.
- Experience building rapport and trust with stakeholders of all levels to enhance communication with the wider firm and create a supportive and productive work environment.
- A basic Knowledge of the relevant areas of Law and Regulations such as The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Regulations 2019 or equivalent, Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, UN, UK, and US Sanction regimes, as well as the SRA code of conduct 2019.
