With ever-changing rules and regulations, businesses face increasingly complex legal and compliance challenges. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) plays a important role in addressing these issues: it protects organizations from financial crime, safeguards their integrity, and prevents fines or reputational damage.

Tell me more…

Consider multinationals operating across Europe and Asia: what is mandatory in one country might be prohibited in another. What seems advantageous in one jurisdiction can lead to unexpected costs or complications elsewhere.

This organization brings together experts to address AML challenges, including Client Due Diligence, risk management, and compliance strategies for both national and international businesses. With hundreds of specialists across various legal fields and regions, they not only help clients meet regulatory requirements but also protect their integrity and achieve strategic advantages.

What about the role?

You assess risks for new clients and matters, verify documentation from partners and fee earners, and ensure all due diligence is completed. Screening for PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media is a key responsibility, including managing alerts and escalating issues as needed. Risk assessments are documented clearly to meet the requirements of regulators, auditors, and stakeholders. You oversee client onboarding and matter processing, ensuring timely and compliant handling.

You handle client onboarding and matter processing, conduct regular evaluations of existing clients, and update records and risk assessments. Providing AML advice, investigating suspicious activity, and escalating findings to the AML Compliance Manager or MLRO are central to the role. As a point of contact for the New Business Intake team, you resolve matter-opening challenges and collaborate with internal teams to support AML projects and compliance activities

Let me check my resume?

You have a Bachelor’s degree and solid expertise in AML/CTF requirements and financial crime risks within the legal industry. Ideally, you also hold a law degree or LPC and bring at least one year of relevant AML experience, preferably in an international law firm.

A recognized AML/Compliance qualification strengthens your profile, though it’s not essential.

Proficient in Microsoft Office and other tools, with knowledge of Intapp as an advantage, you work well both independently and within teams.
