Our Forensic & Financial Crime team helps clients respond to, pre-empt and quantify the impact of threats like fraud, corruption, litigation and money laundering. Through our Vacationer Program, you'll spend your summer embedded in that work, building investigative and analytical skills on live client matters that carry real consequences.

What will your typical day look like?

Day to day, you'll be working across forensic investigations, disputes, financial crime advisory and forensic accounting. The work is varied and fast-moving, with each engagement bringing a different set of facts, clients and challenges. You'll be supported by experienced practitioners who will involve you in real deliverables from the start.

As a Vacationer in our Forensic & Financial Crime team, you could be:

Gathering and analysing evidence across large data sets, conducting financial analysis and supporting witness interviews as part of live investigations

Reviewing financial information and preparing analysis to support expert witness proceedings, litigation valuations or large-scale remediation and claims schemes

Advising clients on anti-money laundering, sanctions, bribery and corruption, or fraud prevention frameworks alongside specialists in financial crime

As well as learning in the flow of work, you'll be part of our structured Vacationer Program. You'll have a dedicated buddy, access to networking and social events, and the opportunity to be considered for an early graduate offer.
