Conflicts Lawyer
London
Hybrid (2 days in office)

We’re working with a leading international law firm looking to strengthen its London-based conflicts team as part of continued investment in its global risk function.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a highly collaborative, multi-jurisdictional team, working closely with colleagues across the UK, US and APAC. You’ll play a key role in supporting the firm’s approach to client onboarding, new matters, and broader risk management.

This is a truly technical role, looking for someone with a strong commercial accumen and ability to dive into technical conversations

The Role?
You’ll be involved in the end-to-end conflicts process, supporting lawyers and partners globally on a wide range of matters. The work is varied, fast-paced, and commercially focused.

• Managing conflict checks on new matters across multiple jurisdictions
• Analysing and resolving legal and commercial conflicts of interest
• Advising partners and lawyers on conflict issues, firm policies, and risk considerations
• Supporting matter risk assessments, including reputational, sanctions, and financial crime risks
• Working closely with financial crime and compliance teams on client onboarding
• Assisting with the implementation and management of information barriers
• Collaborating with international teams to ensure a consistent and seamless global service
• Contributing to process improvements and the development of conflicts systems and tools

About you?

• Qualified lawyer in England & Wales
• Experience in a conflicts, risk, or compliance role within a law firm or professional services environment
• Understanding of conflicts of interest and confidentiality obligations
• Strong analytical and research skills with excellent attention to detail
• Commercial awareness and the ability to assess risk in a practical way
• Confidence communicating with stakeholders at all levels
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively under pressure

Exposure to US conflicts rules would be advantageous but isn’t essential.

What's in it for you?

• Join a genuinely global team with strong collaboration across regions
• Broad exposure to complex, high-value matters
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing function
• Truly flexible hybrid working.
• Supportive and inclusive team culture
• Competitive salary and benefits
