Risk & Compliance Solicitor

If you're an experienced litigator or professional negligence solicitor looking to step away from fee earning into a strategic, firm-wide role, this could be an excellent opportunity.

I'm working with a highly regarded regional law firm with an outstanding reputation for both client care and employee development. With multiple offices across the East Midlands and beyond, the firm has enjoyed sustained growth while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. It is recognised for the quality of its legal services, long-serving teams and genuine commitment to helping its people build rewarding, long-term careers.

Working closely with the COLP and senior leadership team, this is a high-profile role where you'll help shape the firm's approach to risk, governance and client care.

The Opportunity

You'll play a key role in protecting and strengthening the firm by:

• Advising on professional negligence risks and claims

• Investigating and managing complex client complaints from initial enquiry through to resolution

• Assessing liability and exposure, working closely with insurers and external counsel where appropriate

• Providing pragmatic, commercial advice to senior stakeholders

• Supporting the firm's wider compliance, governance and risk management strategy

• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and enhance client experience across the business

About You

This opportunity would suit someone who:

• Is a qualified solicitor with a strong background in professional negligence, commercial litigation or a broader litigation practice

• Enjoys analysing complex issues and providing practical, commercial advice

• Has excellent judgement and a meticulous eye for detail

• Is confident influencing and advising senior colleagues

• Is interested in moving into, or further developing, a specialist career in compliance, governance and risk

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to move into a varied and influential position where your legal expertise will have a genuine impact across the entire firm.

You'll be joining a progressive regional practice that combines high-quality legal work with a supportive culture, excellent professional development and a strong focus on employee wellbeing.

This role is open to both full time and part time applicants.
