About the team

You’ll join the Conduct team as part of the Quality & Risk community, a collaborative group that provides critical support to enable the Firm’s partners and staff comply with their obligations across key risk domains, including AML, sanctions, trade controls, business relationships, anti-bribery and corruption, modern slavery and reputational risk.

The Australian Conduct team is part of an Asia Pacific Member Firm, and we encourage collaboration with colleagues across the Asia Pacific region.
