Risk & Compliance Lawyer
UNCOVER
An exciting and genuinely unique opportunity has arisen for a Risk & Compliance Lawyer to join a highly regarded international law firm in either their New York or Washington DC office.
This role stands out in the US market, offering a rare blend of conflicts-focused work (circa 70%) alongside broader strategic risk and compliance exposure (30%) .
It is particularly well suited to a conflicts lawyer who is looking to expand their skillset beyond pure conflicts work and gain experience across wider regulatory and risk matters within a global firm.
While the core of the role centres on conflicts and business intake, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop and diversify their experience across a broad range of risk and compliance activities, making this an excellent step for someone seeking long-term development into a more rounded risk role.
In this role you will play a key part in safeguarding the firm by:
- Advising partners and internal stakeholders on conflicts of interest, professional responsibility, and new business intake matters
- Supporting the review of outside counsel guidelines and engagement terms
- Collaborating closely with partners, General Counsel, and other business services teams on complex conflicts matters
- Gaining exposure to wider risk and compliance work, including regulatory and professional responsibility matters
- Supporting policy development, risk management initiatives, and internal compliance projects
- Providing guidance on firm policies, regulatory obligations, and best practices
- Assisting with broader governance and risk-related matters as the role develops
The ideal candidate will be a qualified lawyer, either in-house or in private practice, who is interested in moving into a risk and compliance role within an international law firm.
Prior direct conflicts experience is not essential , and the firm is open to candidates with transferable skills who are keen to build expertise in this area.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer - particularly someone currently specialising in conflicts - to step into a more varied and forward-looking role , gaining exposure to both core conflicts work and broader strategic risk matters within a leading global firm.
