Compliance Assistant

An established, internationally focused City law firm is looking to welcome a Compliance Assistant into its growing Risk & Compliance team.

If you've already got around 12 months of experience in legal compliance and want to step up, this role gives you the platform: exposure to AML/KYC, risk management, audits, and direct interaction with senior stakeholders across the business.

The Role
You'll work across a wide mix of compliance matters, including:

• Client onboarding and AML/KYC checks.
• File reviews and spot checks against SRA, Lexcel, and ISO standards.
• Keeping compliance registers and manuals up to date.
• Preparing for internal and external audits.
• Supporting training, reporting, and governance projects.
• Providing general admin support to the compliance team.

What They're Looking For

• At least 12 months' experience in a compliance role within a law firm or professional services.
• Solid knowledge of AML/KYC and regulatory frameworks.
• Organised, detail-focused, and confident handling sensitive information.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset.

Desirable (but not essential):

• Experience with Lexcel, ISO or accreditation processes.
• A degree in Law, Business, or a related subject.
• Familiarity with compliance systems and AML databases.

What's on Offer

• Salary up to £40,000 (DOE).
• City of London base with hybrid working.
• A broad role where you'll gain real exposure and career progression.
• The chance to work closely with senior stakeholders in a respected, international-facing law firm.

If you're looking to grow your compliance career and want a role that combines responsibility, progression, and variety, this is an excellent next step.
