Job description

Competitive salary (negotiable depending on experience), 20% tax rate.

This well-known offshore law firm advises an international client base on some of the most interesting work in the Channel Islands market, particularly its corporate team, which operates across mainstream corporate, banking and finance, and funds/financial services. It is looking for a client focused Associate who enjoys a varied workload and who is keen to take on responsibility both in executing work and in business development. Prospects for career progression are excellent.

This might be an interesting opportunity for a junior City-lawyer seeking a change of scene without compromising on their career, but equally, may appeal to a lawyer who is currently with a good regional firm, who is attracted by the opportunity to do international work without the associated lifestyle implications.

Requirements

• Admitted in the UK, Ireland or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa).
• This role is expected to suit someone with 0-2 years’ PQE.
• Experience – post-qualification or in a training seat – in one or more of corporate, banking and finance and/or financial services work.

Package

• Competitive 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.
• 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.
