Your new company
Our international, multi-office boutique client has carved an exceptional reputation in Expert work. Experts often have Global Thought Leader status in WWL and the firm is renowned in specialisms such as Valuations, International Arbitration, Commercial Disputes and Delay.
Frequently competing with the Big 4 and large multinational advisory firms, our client is introducing a new pillar to its Forensic services, that of Fraud, Investigations and Compliance. With 3 UK Fraud Partners now in place, further Partners are gradually being added on a global basis, including in DC which is currently the largest office in the firm.
Your new role
With a #2 to the UK partners already in place, the firm are now keen to additionally appoint an established Senior Investigations Manager/AD. Perhaps you feel overshadowed by your firm size/brand or there is a misalignment of firm strategy to what you would like to develop if you had carte blanche? Or perhaps you've begun to develop a network of lawyers, but find yourself overly utilised and not able to properly capitalise on it?
Either way, this will be the ideal balance of learning from seasoned and well-regarded mentors in your field, continuing to hone your skills on incoming project flow, yet also being given the non-chargeable time - and mentoring to go with it - to expand your contacts and derive maximum commercial benefit from those you have.
Projects are likely to include, inter alia:
complex multi-jurisdictional issues
fraud/misconduct
bribery and corruption
financial misrepresentation
money laundering & sanctions
market abuse
cyber fraud
employee misconduct
procurement fraud
theft of intellectual property
third-party risk
Promotion and timing thereof will be 100% on merit, and you'll be aided by a "slipstream" of promotion happening above you as well.
What you'll need to succeed
This is a role with a clear Partner track. In person therefore you'll be:
Experienced to at least Senior Manager level in Forensic Investigations/Fraud
Qualified ACA/ACCA or equivalent
In Practice right now (or having exited up to a year ago but missing the fee-earning environment)
Entrepreneurial/commercial
Ambitious (yes we know it's an overused word but honestly, here you'll see it rewarded in full)
Already participating in networking events/fraud fora and off the starting blocks building a referrer/lawyer network (even if that has yet to produce fees for you.)
Motivated by being in on the ground floor of a challenger function in the Fraud market
In terms of casework you've run, this ideally should include a many as possible within investigations of fraud, asset misappropriation, bribery and corruption, IP theft, financial misreporting, undisclosed relationships, and asset/individual tracing.
What you'll get in return
Mentoring when you need it, freedom to make your own decisions when you don't
Influencing the strategy of the service-line
Natural progression both through merit and the "slipstream" effect of succession-planning
Generous package with bonuses to match
The ideal foundation from which to build "brand you" as well as the firm's
