A leading London law firm is seeking an Associate with 2 to 7 years post qualification experience to join its highly regarded Business Crime and Investigations team.

The role involves advising corporates and high net worth individuals on serious, complex and often multi jurisdictional matters at the intersection of criminal, regulatory and civil fraud. Instructions commonly involve allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption, market abuse, insider dealing and sanctions exposure.

You will be involved in all stages of investigations, including dawn raids, compelled notices, evidence review, privilege and disclosure strategy, interviews and liaison with UK and overseas authorities. The role also includes defending clients in criminal proceedings and working closely with civil teams on asset tracing, restraint and confiscation issues.

Associates are expected to draft submissions, witness statements and investigation reports, and to contribute to thought leadership and client training across sanctions, AML and enforcement developments.

This is a hands on, high responsibility role offering early client exposure, close partner mentorship and the opportunity to work on high profile, complex matters within a market leading team. The firm is known for its collaborative culture, investment in its people and strong internal progression.
