Associate Director at Chadwick Nott recruiting lawyers from NQ to Partner level across all disciplines across the South West and South…

Location: Bristol

New fantastic opening to join a forward-thinking Risk & Best Practice team where your expertise will shape how a leading law firm manages risk, drives compliance, and supports business growth.

This is a standout opportunity to step into a broad, high-impact role working across the business, advising on everything from client contracts to regulatory change.

The Role

As a Risk & Regulatory Associate, you’ll play a key role in the firm’s success and you can expect your day-to-day duties to include:

• Reviewing and advising on client engagement terms, codes of conduct, and internal policies
• Supporting business development and marketing from a compliance perspective
• Leading updates to engagement letters and terms of business
• Advising on secondments, international work, and subcontracting arrangements
• Developing and maintaining compliance policies and procedures
• Monitoring legal and regulatory developments and driving change where needed
• Delivering training and raising awareness of risk and compliance issues
• Providing legal research and advice on regulatory matters (e.g. SRA Standards & Regulations)
• Supporting internal audits and continuous improvement initiatives
• Representing the team on internal projects and committees
• Mentoring junior colleagues and helping grow the team’s capabilities

Candidate Requirements

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A current practising certificate or solid experience in legal risk and compliance
• Strong background in commercial contract review and negotiation
• Working knowledge of the SRA Handbook and key regulatory frameworks (e.g. AML)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, adaptable approach to juggling priorities and deadlines.
• A passion for continuous improvement and knowledge-sharing

Whether you’re returning to the profession after a break or transitioning from private practice or another sector, or perhaps currently in a similar role simply seeking a change, then we would love to hear from you.

Our client offer a hybrid working model that supports flexibility and work-life balance.

The successful candidate will join a values-led organisation that’s consistently recognised for its culture, people-first approach, and commitment to excellence.
