We are working with a leading international law firm to recruit a Conflicts Analyst to join its London-based office.

This is an excellent opportunity for a conflicts professional to join a highly regarded global law firm, supporting new business intake and lateral attorney hiring across a broad range of complex, cross-border legal matters.

Working closely with the Senior Conflicts Attorney, partners and other members of the Office of General Counsel, you will play a key role in identifying, analysing and resolving potential conflicts of interest, helping ensure that new matters and lateral hires are cleared efficiently and in accordance with the firm's requirements.
