What is a conflicts analyst?

Conflicts Analysts are professionals who work primarily in law firms or legal departments to identify and resolve potential conflicts of interest. Their main responsibilities include reviewing new client and matter information, conducting research using databases, and ensuring compliance with ethical and legal standards. They help protect their organizations from legal risks by ensuring that the firm does not represent clients with conflicting interests. Conflicts Analysts also maintain records, communicate findings to attorneys, and may assist in implementing conflict resolution procedures.
