White Collar Crime & Investigations Senior Associate

Douglas Scott Global Recruitment
Central London

Job Details

This is a rare opportunity to join an International law firm with a true global footprint and a white-collar crime & investigations team in hyper-growth. The team is scaling quickly, and they're now seeking a Senior Associate (5-10PQE) to take on a key role in driving high-profile matters forward and shaping the next phase of the practice's growth.

You'll be at the centre of financial crime, fraud, and sanctions matters that span borders and industries, trusted to run cases, lead client relationships, and mentor junior associates as the team expands.

What you'll do
  • Lead on complex, multi-jurisdictional cases covering white-collar crime, sanctions, fraud, and corporate investigations.
  • Advise global corporates, financial institutions, and high-profile individuals in critical situations.
  • Oversee investigations, strategy, drafting, and advocacy prep with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Play a key role in business development and building client relationships.
  • Contribute to thought leadership through conferences, client briefings, and publications.
  • Mentor and support junior team members as the group grows.
What you'll need
  • Solicitor qualification in England & Wales, with 5-10PQE in white-collar crime, investigations, sanctions, or commercial litigation.
  • A track record of running complex matters with minimal supervision.
  • Strong client-facing and business development skills.
  • Excellent academics, commercial judgement, and leadership capability.
  • Ambition to help shape a growing practice and take on career-defining work.
Why this team?
  • Hyper-growth - join at a pivotal stage as the team scales, with real progression opportunities.
  • Global platform - act on matters spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.
  • Leadership role - take ownership of clients, strategy, and mentoring.
  • Career trajectory - clear path toward Legal Director/Partner for the right individual.
  • Profile-building - opportunities to speak, publish, and take a visible role in the market.
  • Culture - ambitious, collaborative, and commercial.
This is more than a lateral move – it’s a chance to step into a team at the forefront of white collar crime, at a time of rapid expansion. With the platform, resources, and international reach of a truly global firm, combined with the momentum of a practice in hyper-growth, this is an opportunity to take ownership of your career and push towards the next stage — whether that’s Legal Director or Partner.
