Job description
Compliance Officer (Legal)

Manchester City Centre | Hybrid Working | Full-Time | Permanent

Compliance isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about protecting the business, reducing risk and making sure good legal work stays exactly that.

We're working with a well-established claimant law firm looking to appoint an experienced Compliance Officer to support its Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP). This is a hands-on role where you'll be involved in the day-to-day compliance and risk management activities that keep a busy litigation practice running smoothly.

If you've worked within a legal compliance environment, understand the realities of litigation, and enjoy solving problems before they become issues, we'd like to hear from you.

The Role

Working alongside the COLP, you'll play a key part in ensuring the firm continues to meet its regulatory obligations while supporting wider risk management initiatives across the business.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting the management of complaints, professional negligence claims, data subject access requests and related matters
  • Assisting with regulatory compliance and helping identify, monitor and reduce risk across the firm
  • Carrying out AML and client due diligence checks in line with firm procedures
  • Maintaining compliance records and central risk registers, including complaints and professional indemnity notifications
  • Assisting with file audits and compliance reviews
  • Working closely with internal business support teams on compliance-related projects
  • Researching regulatory developments and helping implement changes where required
  • Keeping up to date with changes in legal regulation, compliance requirements and best practice
About You

You'll be organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced legal environment. You'll also be confident communicating with colleagues at all levels, including senior management.

We're looking for someone with:

  • At least two years' experience within a litigation environment
  • Previous experience supporting legal compliance or risk management functions
  • A good understanding of SRA regulations and the professional standards governing law firms
  • Knowledge of AML, client due diligence and wider regulatory compliance
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and sound organisational skills
  • Confidence using case management systems (experience with Proclaim would be beneficial)
  • Housing litigation or housing disrepair experience would be advantageous but isn't essential
  • Good IT skills and the ability to work across multiple systems
What's on Offer
  • Competitive salary, depending on experience (circa £35,000-£37,500)
  • Performance-related bonus
  • Hybrid working
  • Flexible start and finish times
  • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Birthday off
  • Annual salary reviews
  • Employer pension contribution of 6%
  • Company sick pay
  • Death in service benefit
  • Subsidised gym membership
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Ongoing training and career development
  • Modern city centre offices with a relaxed working environment

If you're looking for a compliance role where your work genuinely influences the way a respected litigation practice operates, we'd love to speak with you.
