This leading Scottish law firm is currently recruiting a Senior Lawyer to join its Financial Crime team. The position can be based in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, or Glasgow.

The role offers a unique opportunity to become a central point of contact for sanctions and export control matters, supporting advisory, compliance, and investigatory work across the firm. Working closely with colleagues in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East, the successful candidate will contribute to the strategic development of a high-profile and growing practice.

The position involves a broad mix of work, with an increasing focus on investigations and enforcement matters. Responsibilities include advising on UK and international sanctions regimes, supporting export control compliance, managing complex diligence reviews, and contributing to major investigations. There is also the opportunity to work alongside partners on wider financial crime issues, including fraud, corruption, and money laundering. The successful candidate will also play a key role in mentoring junior lawyers and developing client relationships across corporate and financial sectors.

This is a full-time, permanent role, suitable for a lawyer with a minimum of 5 years’ PQE and strong experience in sanctions and export control work. While a strong grounding in sanctions is essential, the team welcomes candidates looking to build their expertise in export controls.

If this role is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact either Teddie or Frasia for an initial and confidential discussion. (Assignment 14918)
