Wednesday is currently the team's anchor day, when all team members are expected to be in the office to support collaboration, training and team alignment. There is flexibility in selecting the remaining in office days, subject to operational requirements.

Provide advice and assistance to Partners, Associates and support teams regarding the firm's new business intake policy and procedures Draft engagement letters, conflict waivers, and screens as required Participate in the weekly Conflicts Staff Lawyer meetings and contribute to knowledge sharing and process improvement Support the onboarding of lateral Partners and Associates from a conflicts and intake perspective Stay current with applicable professional conduct rules and conflicts regulations across all relevant jurisdictions Qualifications Candidate profile The following attributes are essential for success in this role: Strong working knowledge of professional conduct rules, including the SRA Code of Conduct and ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Admission to a recognised law society or bar in a jurisdiction where the firm has an office Excellent written and spoken English Strong legal analytical skills and sound judgement Commercial awareness and the ability to balance risk with business needs Highly organised with the ability to manage competing priorities under pressure Discreet, trustworthy and comfortable handling highly confidential information Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative approach Preferred: Previous conflicts or new business intake experience within a US or large international law firm Experience using corporate research and compliance screening tools such as CapitalIQ, Bureau van Dijk or WorldCheck Experience with the Intapp Open conflicts and new business intake solution Strong proficiency in Boolean searching and one or more enterprise conflicts search applications (such as Intapp Open, S&P Cap IQ, Orbis and WorldCheck) Anti-money laundering knowledge and experience Experience reviewing and negotiating engagement letters and outside counsel guidelines Experience delivering training to stakeholders Advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Word and Excel Benefits Annual discretionary performance bonus Non-contributory pension scheme - 5% employer contribution, with an additional 3% matched from you 33 days paid time off - inclusive of short-term sickness absence Private Medical Insurance Permanent Health Insurance Life Assurance - equivalent to four times your salary Health club contribution Interest-free season ticket loan Free GP service and regular health checks
