Onboarding Coordinator Apprentice 2026 in London

At Addleshaw Goddard, we’re proud to be a leading law firm trusted by thousands of organisations in over 100 countries.

The Onboarding team at Addleshaw Goddard helps set new clients up to work with the firm. Their role is to collect key information and make sure everything is correct before any legal work begins. This includes verifying the client, the work they do and making sure everything is legal and compliant with rules to prevent money laundering. The team also makes sure all the information is organised so that lawyers can start helping the client quickly.

As an Onboarding Coordinator Apprentice, you will support three functions with a range of administrative tasks:

• Conflicts: The Conflicts team checks to make sure that the firm can work for a new client without issues or clashes with other clients.
• Financial Crime & Sanctions: This team protects the firm from illegal activities like money laundering and makes sure the firm follows rules about working with certain people or countries.
• Internal Audit: The Internal Audit team makes sure everything is done well and follows the rules.

Successful applicants will complete the Business Administration Level 3 apprenticeship with BPP.
