About the Opportunity
What if you could use your legal judgment and negotiation skills to help shape how a global law firm manages client relationships, protects its business, and responds to emerging risks?

We’re working with a transatlantic law firm that is seeking an attorney to serve as a senior legal and risk-management resource within its Office of General Counsel/Conflicts Department. You would review and negotiate client engagement terms, advise on practical negotiation positions, and help partners navigate issues ranging from conflicts and professional responsibility to privacy, information security, AI, and billing.

This is a role that combines substantive legal work with cross-functional problem-solving. You would work closely with relationship partners and colleagues across the firm’s business and risk functions, translating complex requirements into clear recommendations and workable client-facing responses.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• A substantive role within the Office of General Counsel and Conflicts Department, helping balance client requirements with the firm’s legal, ethical, and business priorities
• Direct collaboration with relationship partners and client teams to negotiate engagement terms, explain risks, and develop practical solutions
• Broad exposure to issues involving conflicts, professional responsibility, pricing, privacy, information security, AI, and legal technology
• Cross-border collaboration with colleagues to bring greater consistency to the review and implementation of client terms
• An opportunity to shape how the firm manages outside counsel guidelines through negotiation playbooks, training resources, clear escalation procedures, and workflow improvements

Who We’re Looking For
An attorney with at least 3 years of experience handling outside counsel guidelines, engagement terms, professional responsibility, conflicts, risk management, commercial contracts, or related legal operations matters.

The ideal candidate brings strong drafting and negotiation skills, practical judgment, and the ability to turn complex client requirements into clear recommendations. We’re looking for someone who can coordinate input from multiple teams, reconcile competing concerns, and keep time-sensitive reviews moving while maintaining careful records and protecting confidential information.
