Description
The vacancy
Moore Barlow is currently seeking an experienced Risk & Best Practice Assistant to join our highly regarded Risk & Best Practice Team in our Woking office for a 6-month fixed-term contract.
More About Us
Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm aiming to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being “human first” in everything we do. Put simply, we care as much about your career as you do.
We are featured in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2024 list and consistently achieve recognition for the quality of our services in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.
We are now 450 people, including 280 lawyers and 60 Partners, with offices across the South-East and London.
More About Our Risk & Best Practice Team
Our Risk & Best Practice Team plays a vital role in the day-to-day operations and continued success of the firm; it is their responsibility to ensure that the firm maintains compliance with the various regulatory frameworks that it is subject to, and to support individuals across the firm in a way that allows them to carry out their duties with confidence.
Our colleagues in the team are the resident experts on all things related to risk, AML, client onboarding, regulatory compliance, client care, data protection, and much more besides. This will include taking instructions on data subject access requests, providing support on complaints or professional indemnity claims (if and when they arise), delivering firm-wide training on any updates or changes to our regulatory responsibilities, and taking the lead on efforts for re/accreditation from various industry quality marks (including Lexcel, CQS, and SQM).
Day To Day
As a Risk & Best Practice Assistant, your day-to-day will include but is not limited to the following responsibilities.
Perhaps you are a law graduate looking to kick-start your career with your first legal support role, or an experienced administrator who is seeking a brand-new challenge. Either way, you should have an interest in compliance and naturally take an organised and efficient approach to your work.
Whilst some prior legal or admin experience would be great, we are keen to hear from those who have related work or study experience and can demonstrate an interest in this line of work.
If you have this experience and are keen to develop your career, then we would strongly encourage you to apply.
Who We Are
We are Moore Barlow, a top regional career law firm with a simple mission – to make a difference.
We support our clients and the communities we help through providing outstanding legal services with empathy and expertise. A full service law firm, we support these core client groups: Individuals & Families, Entrepreneurial Businesses & Organisations and Personal/Catastrophic Injury & Medical Negligence.
We are passionate about making a difference to our people, their careers and care deeply about their experience at work. Moore Barlow aims to be recognised as the best career law firm to work for. This means that we care as much about your career as you do. So whether you join us early in your career, in one of our outstanding business support functions or are continuing an already rich career in law, you’ll find Moore Barlow a great place to further build your experience.
With numerous top-tier rankings in law, exceptional quality of work and named a Times Top 100 best law firm to work for, we have big plans. We are seeking passionate, human-focused individuals like you as we continue to grow. With over 450 dedicated professionals including 70 Partners and 272 Lawyers, Moore Barlow offers substantial opportunity for further advancement and personal development.
What We Can Offer
Our culture is open, diverse and inclusive and we look for likeminded individuals who recognise that it’s this individuality that allows us to be truly different to other firms. Everything we do is underpinned by the Moore Barlow Way, which is a set of values and principles to ensure consistency of experience no matter which team you work within.
As a true career firm, we seek to reward the great work our people undertake with continued personal development opportunities. We have big plans for growth, and we see that this creates extensive opportunity for our people as we move towards our long-term ambitions.
In most of our roles, we are also open to supporting hybrid, flexible working and different work patterns. What you do outside of work is as important as your time inside of work – and we want to strike the right balance for both the individual and the firm.
We also offer great benefits including 28 days’ annual leave, private medical insurance, income protection, life assurance, firmwide bonus scheme and a generous pension scheme.
If you’re seeking to join a firm that seeks to provide a personal and highly engaging place to work – we are confident that you’ll find this at Moore Barlow.
