Associate, White Collar Crime
Are you ready to make your mark as part of the White Collar Crime group in our London office?
About the Role
We are looking for mid-level associates, with a specialism in internal investigations and white collar crime matters, to join our London office.
As an Associate, you will be highly organised, deadline-focused and should be adept at managing multiple workstreams and matters, driving processes forward and delivering flawless work within short timeframes.
The role will focus on internal investigations, corporate due diligence and compliance advisory work. In addition to strong academic credentials, you should have prior experience of advising on financial crime issues ( anti-bribery and corruption, fraud, tax evasion and money laundering). Experience of sanctions work is beneficial but not essential.
Both oral and written communication skills will be major assets—enabling you to convey complex information to colleagues and clients in a way that is clear and succinct. A team player with a global mindset, you should be excited by the opportunity to work alongside lawyers across the firm’s international offices and practices. You will play a vital role within our tight knit and friendly team.
Given the rapid pace of our practice, you will need to be highly organized—comfortable meeting tight deadlines and managing multiple workstreams in a timely fashion. Self-motivated, you will need to display a willingness to take ownership of projects, and a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset that allows you to anticipate
About the Practice
Our White Collar Crime practice handles a wide range of multijurisdictional legal matters, addressing the risks arising from investigations and enforcement actions. The work is challenging and stimulating, frequently involving high-profile cross-border matters, with high stakes for the parties involved. We deal with internal investigations, fraud, advisory matters and compliance and due diligence matters.
Our corporate clients are household names. We also act in relation to law enforcement and regulatory investigations. We do a lot of work in the technology space, where we advise two of the world’s biggest tech companies.
From the moment you join us, you will be given considerable responsibility and will be working with a team of Partners and associates. You will be managing large volumes of information and multiple workstreams, and taking a lead on key investigative tasks, including interviewing witnesses.
In addition to working on large-scale investigations, you will also undertake shorter advisory projects, such as conducting due diligence reviews, designing compliance programs and drafting and delivering trainings.
