Join a large international law firm’s US compliance team as a Compliance Lawyer based in Minneapolis. You will work on conflicts review, intake, and broader compliance matters to identify and mitigate ethical, regulatory and commercial risks before new matters, lateral hires, or business initiatives proceed.

The role requires close collaboration across a US compliance team and with global compliance colleagues in other regions. You will supervise at least two analysts, manage a docket of outstanding conflict matters, advise lawyers and management on conflict resolution and compliance policy, and support enforcement and practice‑standard matters (e.g., anti‑bribery, sanctions, AML, share dealing and outside appointments).

This position includes a rotating on‑call schedule outside regular business hours (weekends and holidays) and requires sound judgment, strong communication skills and the ability to work with senior stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Licensed to practice law in one or more U.S. jurisdictions (Minnesota and other states preferred).
  • Practical experience as a lawyer with familiarity with U.S. conflicts rules and conflict‑review procedures.
  • Proven ability to exercise commercial and risk‑based judgment and to advise senior stakeholders.
  • Experience supervising or mentoring junior staff/analysts; ability to manage multiple conflict matters concurrently.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills and comfort working across multicultural/global teams; willingness to participate in a rotating on‑call schedule.
