• Conducting conflicts searches using the Intapp Open database, analysing potential conflicts and ensuring potential commercial conflicts are handled appropriately.
• Developing an understanding of the SRA rules concerning conflicts of interest, confidentiality and disclosure.
• Working closely with the wider Compliance Team, including undertaking training to support more complex AML and conflicts analysis.
• Providing administrative support and assisting with other work related to resolving conflicts of interest. Apply today to register your interest in this opportunity.
