This elite offshore law firm is a real heavyweight in the Channel Islands. It is home to some of the best lawyers and instructed on many of the biggest transactions in the market, whilst at the same time maintaining a culture that means it is widely acknowledged as being a nice place to work. Its Guernsey office has an opening for an experienced lawyer to take on a role that spans a diverse range of corporate matters, but with a primary focus on investment funds and related regulatory issues. It is an opportunity to do interesting and complex cross-border work, advising major clients, and taking on a great deal of responsibility in both matter and client management; ideal for someone who is looking to step up their responsibility and begin making a name for themselves. Requirements Admitted in the UK, Ireland or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa). Joining at Senior Associate level, this role is expected to suit someone with at least 5 years’ PQE (all suitable applicants considered). You will need a strong track record from a good commercial law firm and will have expertise in the funds/financial services sector, whether from an advisory/transactional perspective, or having previously specialised in regulatory work. Package Attractive salary (negotiable depending on experience), 20% tax rate. Benefits and excellent bonus scheme. Relocation package (flights temporary accommodation on arrival expenses allowance). Process Interviews will take place by videoconference with possible island visit at final stage. Start dates negotiable. Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation. The Channel Islands For a city-based lawyer who thrives on big ticket work but craves an escape from the rat race, few places compete with the Channel Islands, home to two of the world’s premier offshore financial centres. Jersey and Guernsey have strong and highly competitive legal sectors, housing teams that number many alumni of the leading London or international outfits amongst their ranks. They do complex blue-chip work, in a nice environment without the trappings of a big law firm culture. Work-life balance tends to be good, leaving plenty of time to enjoy what is an enviable coastal lifestyle and London is only an hour away making it easy to get that city fix when (or if) you need it. Origin Legal International Our team has 25 years’ experience of helping lawyers to make international and offshore moves.
