About this role

A prominent UK law firm is looking for a Financial Crime Lawyer to join its established Risk & Compliance team in London.

The role offers excellent hybrid flexibility, providing a strong work-life balance alongside the opportunity to work with an experienced and established Risk & Compliance team.

You will work closely with colleagues across the firm to provide advice and support on financial crime risk, helping to ensure the firm maintains robust compliance with applicable legislation, regulation and internal policies.
