Compliance Lawyer
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also must not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate.
We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (intro about firm and role), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications and experience" (maybe combine Qualifications and Skills?), "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". The posting mentions rotating on-call schedule, work outside regular business hours, etc. So schedule info present.
We must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: they give salary range for certain markets, and note salaries vary in other markets, bonus non-guaranteed. That's specific enough to include Pay.
Benefits: they list many benefits, specific. Include Benefits.
Schedule: they mention rotating on-call schedule (weekends and holidays), work outside regular business hours, attend office as needed. That's specific.
Qualifications: they list licensing, experience, etc. That's Qualifications.
Skills: maybe combine with Qualifications? But we can have separate Skills if there is content: they mention "Highly intelligent with excellent commercial judgment. Strong written and oral communication skills..." That's skills. Could put under Qualifications or Skills. Since we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed, we could split: Qualifications (Qualifications) licensing, experience, etc. (Skills) communication, judgment, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Might be okay.
Responsibilities: they list many bullet points.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list as ul. Qualifications maybe as ul. Skills as ul. Benefits as ul. Pay maybe as p (since not a list). Schedule as p.
We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove "Other Duties Please note this job description does not cover..." that's boilerplate? It's a disclaimer; maybe we can keep? It's not substantive? It's a generic statement; maybe remove as boilerplate. Also remove "Employees are entitled to compensation commensurate with skill and experience." That's placeholder? It's vague but maybe we keep as part of Pay? Actually they then give salary range. The phrase "commensurate with skill and experience" is generic; we could keep it as part of Pay paragraph but it's not specific. Might be okay to keep but we should avoid filler. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should not include that phrase if it's filler. So we should omit that sentence.
Also "Bonus opportunities are non-guaranteed and are dependent upon individual and firm performance." That's specific enough? It's not filler. Keep.
We need to remove EEO etc. Also remove "Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Remove all that.
Also remove "E-Verify is a registered trademark..." etc.
Also remove contact info for accommodation? That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered application instructions? It's about accommodation request. Might be considered application instructions; we should remove application instructions. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So accommodation request is application instructions; remove.
Also remove "Please provide your contact information and a description of your accessibility issue." etc.
Also remove "Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to..." that's EEO; remove.
Also remove "Norton Rose Fulbright is committed to providing reasonable accommodation as an Equal Opportunity Employer to applicants with disabilities." etc.
Also remove "If you require assistance or accommodation to complete your application, please contact us.hr@nortonrosefulbright.com." etc.
Also remove "E-Verify is a registered trademark..." etc.
Also remove "41 CFR 60-1.35(c)." etc.
Also remove "Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant." That's EEO/pay transparency; remove.
Now we need to craft HTML.
We'll start with maybe
About the role
then a paragraph summarizing the firm and role.
Then Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility.
Then
Qualifications
- ... licensing, experience, etc.
Then
Skills
- ... commercial judgment, communication, maturity, confidentiality, analytical, supervisory ability.
Then
Benefits
- ... list benefits.
Then
Pay
... salary range and bonus.
Then
Schedule
... rotating on-call, work outside regular hours, office attendance as needed.
We must ensure we don't include headings with empty content.
Now we need to extract exact responsibilities list:
From text:
"Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Advise partners, lawyers, and the Global Compliance Team regarding the identification and resolution of potential conflicts of interests, including the relevant legal and ethical considerations and commercial concerns.
- Collaborate with a team of analysts to ensure consistent workflow and timely production, which includes specifically supervising the workflows and work products of at least two Compliance Analysts.
- Interact with all levels of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP Management to resolve potential conflict of interest issues or commercial concerns in the context of new matter intake, lateral hires, business development, and practice development projects.
- Drive any conflict issues to full resolution and manage a docket of between 15 and 30 outstanding conflict matters at any given time.
- Assist with enforcement and other issues related to Norton Rose Fulbright’s Global Practice Standards addressing stock and share dealings, external appointments, prohibitions on bribery, corruption and discrimination, economic sanctions, anti-money laundering requirements, and (to some extent) cyber security considerations.
- Liaise and interact with the Compliance Teams at Norton Rose Fulbright Australia, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP on a daily basis.
- Analyze conflict issues surrounding directorships and trusteeships in order to maintain databases.
- Review client relationship letters to identify contractual obligations to consider in the resolution of conflicts.
- Deal with questions and concerns related to our policies related to share dealing."
Also there is "Other Duties Please note this job description does not cover or contain all activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice." That's boilerplate; remove.
Now qualifications list:
"Qualifications and experience:
- Licensed to practice law in one or more States in which Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP has an office (particularly Texas, California, Colorado, New York, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, and the District of Columbia).
- Experience working as a lawyer.
- A thorough acquaintance with and working knowledge of US conflicts rules highly preferred.
- Highly intelligent with excellent commercial judgment.
- Strong written and oral communication skills and experience operating in a multi-cultural environment.
- Sufficient maturity and judgment to work successfully and confidently with all levels including senior management and partners.
- Be sufficiently confident to exercise risk-based judgment calls on a daily basis.
- Be fully familiar with a lawyer’s duties regarding confidentiality, privilege and client care.
- Highly analytical with an ability to anticipate potential problems and creatively propose/implement solutions.
- Ability to effectively supervise the work product and daily workflow of two analysts; prior supervisory experience is preferred."
Note some of these overlap with skills; but we can split: Qualifications: licensing, experience, US conflicts rules, supervisory ability maybe. Skills: intelligence, commercial judgment, communication, maturity, confidentiality, analytical, risk-based judgment, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Qualifications: licensing, experience as lawyer, US conflicts rules knowledge, supervisory experience (ability to supervise two analysts). Skills: highly intelligent, excellent commercial judgment, strong written/oral communication, multi-cultural environment, maturity/judgment, confidentiality, analytical, risk-based judgment calls.
But we also have "Be sufficiently confident to exercise risk-based judgment calls on a daily basis." That's skill.
"Be fully familiar with a lawyer’s duties regarding confidentiality, privilege and client care." skill.
"Highly analytical with an ability to anticipate potential problems and creatively propose/implement solutions." skill.
Now benefits list:
"Benefit packages include access to three medical insurance plans, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Employees can also access pre-tax benefits such as health savings and flexible spending accounts. Norton Rose Fulbright helps provide financial security by allowing employees to participate in a 401(k) savings plan and profit-sharing plans if eligible. Full- time employees are eligible to access fertility benefits designed to support fertility and family-forming journeys. Employees may also access commuter benefits where applicable and student loan assistance refinancing options. In addition to the Firm’s health and welfare benefits above, we offer a competitive paid time off plan, which provides a minimum of 20 days off based on your role and tenure with the firm. The firm offers a generous paid maternity leave and paid paternity leave (parental leave) benefit allowing parents to take a minimum of 14 weeks of paid leave to bond with your newborn or adopted child(ren). Employees may also access child care support through a back-up care program. Employees are also entitled to 11 Firm holidays."
We'll turn each sentence into
- maybe combine related.
Pay:
"The full-time base annual salary for this position in the California, Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, and Washington, DC markets are expected to range between $135,000 and $165,000. This range represents the firm’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting for a position in these markets. Salaries in other markets will vary depending on market data. Bonus opportunities are non-guaranteed and are dependent upon individual and firm performance."
We'll put that in a
.
Schedule:
"This role may be performed remotely from any state where the firm maintains an office (Texas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, and the District of Columbia). Employees must also be able to attend the office at the request of their supervisor as needed. This position requires a commitment to work outside of regular business hours and includes a rotating on-call schedule (weekends and holidays, distributed across the team)."
We'll put that in a
.
