A prestigious law firm is seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Compliance Assistant to join their compliance team. This is an exciting opportunity for a compliance professional with a strong background in legal services to play a key role in client onboarding, with a focus on client due diligence (CDD) and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

Working closely with the Senior Onboarding Executive and AML team, you will carry out in-depth CDD/AML checks, assess client risk profiles, investigate business structures, and maintain up-to-date records in line with UK regulatory standards. This role will also contribute to the ongoing improvement of onboarding processes across residential property teams initially in Wimbledon, with plans to extend firmwide.

You’ll be expected to communicate effectively with clients, guiding them through CDD/AML requirements while maintaining a high standard of professionalism. The ability to work independently, manage risk, and demonstrate strong regulatory knowledge within a legal context is essential.
