This is a strategic advisory role for a lawyer with deep expertise in financial crime, anti-money laundering, sanctions and client due diligence, who enjoys operating at the intersection of legal risk, regulation and commercial decision-making.
Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will advise on complex and high-profile matters, helping the organisation navigate financial crime and reputational risk issues while enabling business growth.
This position would suit an individual currently working within a law firm, professional services business, financial institution or regulatory environment who is looking for broader exposure and a genuine seat at the table on critical risk decisions.

- Financial crime and AML advisory work
- Sanctions compliance and regulatory risk
- Client due diligence and onboarding matters
- Reputational risk assessments

- Strong AML, financial crime and sanctions expertise
- Experience advising on complex risk matters in a commercial environment
- The ability to balance regulatory requirements with practical business solutions
- Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making
Experience of conflicts, business acceptance or legal risk management is beneficial but not essential.
