About the company
At Norton Rose Fulbright, people thrive because of a shared commitment to quality, unity and integrity. The highly regarded law firm consistently receives recognition from Great Place to Work and Top Workplaces, two companies that specialize in assessing organizational culture. Teams collaborate across regions, value new ideas and deliver meaningful client solutions, supported by a culture that embraces ambition, development and shared success. With more than 3,000 lawyers and 3,000 business services professionals working together across 50 offices worldwide, this global law firm provides a full range of legal services to leading corporations and financial institutions operating in key markets and sectors.
Norton Rose Fulbright is accepting expressions of interest from talented compliance lawyers to join our US Compliance team.

The US Compliance Team consists, at present, of the Deputy General Counsel, Compliance; two Assistant Deputy General Counsels, Compliance; three Compliance Counsel & Senior Managers, and a team of Compliance Lawyers, Senior Compliance Analysts, Compliance Analysts, and Client/Matter Intake Analysts. The US Compliance Team, in turn, works daily with Norton Rose Fulbright Compliance Teams in Australia, Canada, South Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Advise partners, attorneys and the Global Compliance Team regarding the identification and resolution of potential conflicts of interests, including the relevant legal and ethical considerations and commercial concerns

Collaborate with a team of analysts to ensure consistent workflow and timely production, which includes specifically supervising the workflows and work products of at least two Compliance Analysts
•
Interact with all levels of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP Management to resolve potential conflict of interest issues or commercial concerns in the context of new matter intake, lateral hires, business development, and practice development projects
•
Drive any conflict issues to full resolution and manage a docket of between 15 and 30 outstanding conflict matters at any given time
•
Prepare conflict reports for prospective lateral hires, identifying conflict issues with their work history and potentially portable work and proposed solution for each issue
•
Assist with enforcement and other issues related to Norton Rose Fulbright’s Global Practice Standards addressing stock and share dealings, external appointments, prohibitions on bribery, corruption and discrimination, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering requirements, and (to some extent) cyber security considerations
•
Liaise and interact with the Compliance Teams at Norton Rose Fulbright Australia, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, and Norton Rose Fulbright South Africa on a daily basis
•
Analyze conflict issues surrounding directorships and trusteeships in order to maintain databases

Review client relationship letters to identify contractual obligations to consider in the resolution of conflicts
