Edinburgh
Salary up to £45,000
Hybrid working
We'reworking with a very well regarded national law firm that is looking to add an experienced Conflicts Analyst to its growing Risk & Compliance team in Edinburgh.
This is an excellent opportunity to move beyond routine conflict checking and become involved in more complex, commercially sensitive matters. You’ll work closely with lawyers and partners, helping the firm navigate potential conflicts while balancing regulatory requirements with excellent client service.

About you?
- Previous conflicts experience within a commercial law firm (NEEDED)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Sound commercial judgement and the ability to assess risk effectively
- Confidence communicating with stakeholders at all levels
- The ability to manage competing priorities and complex workloads
- A collaborative and solutions-focused approach
Experience using Intapp and Security Policy Manager would be advantageous, but it isn’t essential
What's in it for you?
- Hybrid working (3 days in office)
- Annual firm-performance bonus
- Private medical insurance and access to private and digital GP services
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service
