- Seeing if the clients are being investigated by any regulators in the UK or overseas, and if they have attracted any negative press
Applicants to this Risk and Compliance Paralegal role will demonstrate:
- Strong academics
- Some experience working in a law firm, ideally as a Paralegal, but potentially as a Legal Assistant, Administrator or Secretary
- Any experience with file opening, conducting ID checks or running conflicts or AML checks is advantageous
