About the Role
The Company is seeking a Head of Risk and Compliance to take on a high-impact role with the opportunity to shape the firm's risk framework and drive best practices. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and developing the US Risk and Compliance team, overseeing regulatory compliance, and directing the firm's new business intake, conflicts analysis, and ethical screen processes. This role requires the development and implementation of comprehensive risk management strategies and compliance frameworks, as well as the monitoring of adherence to regulatory requirements and industry standards. The Head of Risk and Compliance will also lead internal audits, provide guidance and training to partners and firm leadership, and collaborate with legal and operational teams to manage risk exposure effectively. Applicants for the Head of Risk and Compliance position at the company must have a Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent legal degree, with an active U.S. bar admission in good standing, and a minimum of 6-8 years' of experience in law firm risk and compliance or related legal risk functions. The role demands strong experience in conflicts and risk management, new business intake, and the creation and implementation of ethical screens. Excellent communication and leadership skills are essential, as is a demonstrated ability to develop and implement effective compliance programs. The ideal candidate will have experience with risk and compliance technologies, particularly in the area of conflicts and new business intake, and a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risk. The position also requires a willingness to travel among US and international offices as needed.
