AML/CFT Compliance Officer
2 days ago
Willis Legal is a well-established, progressive legal practice with two offices across Te Matau-a-Maui/Hawke's Bay, delivering excellent service to our large client base. We have created a new role in our firm, AML/CFT Compliance Officer & Trust Administrator. That's a lot of words, but the role is very straightforward.
All law firms are reporting entities under the AML/CFT Act, and since 2018, we have had to verify the identity of our clients (amongst other things) as part of our onboarding process. This role is the central point for carrying out our AML/CFT functions, plus monitoring and spot checking Actionstep (the firm's practice management system) to ensure we are adhering to our Compliance Programme and all legislative requirements. This part of the role will work across the whole firm, interacting with both partners, lawyers, admin staff and clients.
The second part of the role relates to our Trust Reviews. The Trust Administrator will play a vital role in supporting the effective management of client trusts by ensuring accurate administration, compliance, and communication. This position will work closely with our partners and lawyers, and involves maintaining trust records, preparing documentation, coordinating with trustees, and ensuring all legal and regulatory obligations are met.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong attention to detail, discretion and a proactive approach to client service.
This is a full-time role working Monday to Friday, ideally in our Napier office.
Willis Legal is an inclusive law firm with modern offices in Napier and Hastings. We use cloud-based technology: Actionstep, NetDocuments, Mitimes and VXT as our phone system. We have an active Social Club and a fun firm culture.
Our Willis Legal values are Tūturutanga (Authentic), Whanaugatanga (Team), Mana Tangata (Pride), Whakatupuranga (Growth) and Iho Matua (Mindful), which we embrace and demonstrate across all aspects of our firm.
