Working as part of our Global Risk & Compliance Department, the Business Acceptance Team is responsible for ensuring the firm is protected from reputational, legal, and commercial risks. This includes analysing all new clients and matters to identify and resolve legal and commercial "conflicts of interest", ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) obligations, and meeting international regulatory requirements for sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and client-related negative press.
The role is ideally suited to an individual with a clear and confident communication style, strong analytical and research skills, and a desire to work collaboratively with a dynamic and motivated team.
A legal qualification is not essential, but problem solving, professionalism, and sound judgement are key.
