ECCU is a multidisciplinary team comprising both legal advisers and investigators, who work closely to investigate and prosecute complex financial crime and money laundering offences. The cases are complex and primarily of a transnational nature.
The role:
As a legal adviser 2 in ECCU you will provide independent advice at the outset and throughout the life of the prosecution case and all related asset recovery proceedings. This includes advice on the investigation as needed, international enquiries and cooperation, sanctions issues, as well as advice on charge. You will also be required to advise on civil asset forfeiture in appropriate cases.
Relevant experience:
As a legal adviser 2, you will be experienced in and able to manage a complex caseload.
You will have demonstrable experience of working with investigators to prosecute complex international financial crime expeditiously. You will be skilled at dealing with complex legal and factual issues, able to manage very large cases, and adept at bringing those cases to prosecution in a timely manner.
You will be proficient in dealing with all aspects of post-conviction and non-conviction-based asset recovery, to ensure criminals are deprived of their illicit gains.
What we can offer:
The work is interesting, challenging and varied and you will have the opportunity to work with different stakeholders both in Jersey and internationally.
You will have the support of a friendly, inclusive, supportive and highly professional team at the Law Officers’ Department, under the leadership of the Attorney General for Jersey.
