About the role

Our global Conflicts and new Business Intake department is seeking a Conflicts Risk Assessment Lawyer to join our global team. This role will be a permanent full-time role with the opportunity to work in a hybrid or predominantly remote work environment (with the occasional in-office meeting and social events). This global department, part of the Firm wide Office of the General Counsel function, is responsible for the critical tasks of handling new business intake requests and associated conflict checks, client due-diligence and compliance work.

What does the role involve?

This is a great role which involves exposure to a variety of matters with daily interactions with colleagues all around the world. On a daily basis you will be:

  • Analysing and evaluating conflict search requests;
  • Conducting extensive corporate affiliation and client quality research;
  • Applying relevant professional rules of conduct, firm policies, regulations, and risk guidelines;
  • Identifying and resolving potential conflict issues and providing a concise and complete summary report for relevant stakeholders such as partners, senior management and the General Counsel;
  • Reviewing, drafting and providing advice on client engagement agreements, conflict waivers, external publications and outside counsel guidelines; and
  • Vetting all new business intake requests to ensure compliance with the Firm\'s business direction.
What are we looking for?

We value our culture at K&L Gates and are proud of our friendly and respectful reputation. We are looking for a likeminded individual who, in addition to possessing technical excellence, is able to work collaboratively in a team and support their colleagues. In addition to this we are looking for:

  • Qualified lawyers with a current practising certificate and a minimum of 2 years PQE;
  • Experience in a risk management or compliance role is highly desirable, but not essential. (Candidates who have been practising law for 2 or more years will be considered);
  • Excellent people skills with the ability to communicate concisely, influence stakeholders and build strong business relationships;
  • Strong research skills and knowledge of corporate affiliations;
  • High level computer skills with the ability to learn new systems quickly; and
  • A desire to work in a legal compliance role.

To be successful in this role, you will exhibit a high degree of professionalism and confidentiality while maintaining a good rapport with the firm's partners, lawyers and staff. We seek exceptional employees who want to become a part of our practice on all levels, to help us expand, challenge our limits, and push us to grow into the future. If you are motivated by job challenges and personal growth, then K&L Gates could be the right place for you.
