Job Description

I’m currently working with a leading private, high-profile criminal and regulatory defence firm recognised for its expertise in complex financial crime, white-collar investigations, and corporate defence. Ranked in the leading legal directories, the firm is known for delivering strategic, discreet, and robust representation to clients facing the most serious allegations and regulatory scrutiny.

Blending a modern, forward-thinking approach with high-impact legal work, the firm prides itself on exceptional client service and a genuinely supportive, collaborative internal culture. As an ambitious and growing practice, they offer their lawyers real responsibility from the outset and early exposure to complex, rewarding matters.

Due to continued growth, they are now seeking a talented and driven Senior Associate Solicitor (6+ PQE) to join their expanding team. This is a key role offering the opportunity to handle complex, high-value cases and play an integral part in the firm’s continued success.

The Role
 • Act for high-net-worth individuals, professionals, and corporates facing investigation or prosecution by agencies such as the SFO, FCA, HMRC, and NCA.
 • Advise clients under investigation for offences including fraud, money laundering, bribery, corruption, and insider trading.
 • Lead and manage tasks as part of a wider case team, working closely with partners on high-profile, sensitive matters.
 • Supervise junior lawyers and support business development initiatives.
 • Maintain strong client relationships and deliver exceptional standards of service.

About You
 • Qualified solicitor with 4+ years’ PQE in financial crime and investigations.
 • Extensive experience advising on SFO, FCA, NCA, and HMRC investigations.
 • Strong knowledge of the Proceeds of Crime Act, Bribery Act, and related regulatory frameworks.
 • Commercially astute with excellent analytical, advocacy, and drafting skills.
 • A confident and discreet communicator, comfortable handling complex and sensitive matters.
 • Experience supervising and mentoring junior lawyers is advantageous.

What’s on Offer
 • The opportunity to work on complex, high-profile cases within a respected and specialist team.
 • A collaborative and supportive culture focused on excellence.
 • Clear opportunities for career progression and leadership.
 • Salary between £55,000 – £65,000 per annum, depending on experience.

Here, you won’t be just another employee — you’ll be a key part of a growing firm with real influence over its future direction and success.

All enquiries and applications are handled with complete confidentiality. Nothing will be affected by a discreet conversation. If this sounds of interest, I’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you
