Few places can offer a lawyer the best of both worlds but in Jersey it really is possible to build an international calibre legal career whilst enjoying a lifestyle that is simply unattainable in London or another major urban centre.
Lawyers in this leading offshore firm are engaged in high-quality and complex cross-border legal work, often in a far more ‘hands-on’ role than might be typical in a larger City type firm. They enjoy a good low-tax earning potential and are encouraged to begin building client contacts from day one, making for excellent career prospects. The working culture is friendly and relaxed but at the same time highly ambitious, with a real focus on developing commercial as well as technical acumen. Whether focusing on corporate, investment funds, capital markets or a broad spread across the practice, the experience you gain here will provide an excellent platform for your longer-term career, whether remaining offshore or returning onshore.
Requirements
Admitted in the UK, Ireland or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa). Likely to suit someone with up to 1-3 years’ PQE. (All suitable applicants considered). Relevant corporate experience gained with a respected commercial law firm in the UK or equivalent overseas. Package
Good salary (expected to be in the range of £80k-£95k), 20% tax rate. Benefits and excellent bonus scheme. Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance). Process
Interviews will take place by videoconference. Start dates negotiable (depending on your notice period). 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. If you would like to find out more about this role or chat about an overseas move in general, please get in touch.
