Senior Corporate Lawyer - Bermuda

Origin Legal; London; On-site; GBP 150,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job description

This respected offshore law firm is looking for an experienced corporate lawyer to work closely with some of the island’s leading lawyers as part of a small, collegiate team. Advising on high-value and complex cross-border work, you will take on a busy practice that spans mainstream corporate including M&A, private equity, and joint ventures, but which also offers exposure to banking and finance and some corporate insurance matters. It is likely to appeal to someone who relishes a varied workload, enjoys a hands-on role with plenty of responsibility, and who thrives in a client-facing capacity.

For the right person, this could be a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds; the professional challenge, intellectual stimulation, and opportunity that comes with top-tier work, combined with a more balanced and culturally relaxed working environment in one of the world's most desirable locations.

Requirements

• Overseas qualified lawyers must be admitted in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or South Africa).
• Likely to suit someone with 5-8 years’ PQE (minimum 3 years’ PQE required for work permit).
• Strong general corporate, M&A, private equity, or funds experience gained with a leading City/International or equivalent firm.

Package

• Salary negotiable depending on experience (expected to be in the range of $150k-$200k p/a with a low tax-rate).
• Comprehensive benefits and bonus.
• Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).

Process

• Interviews will take place by videoconference.
• Start dates typically around 3-6 months later (depending on your notice period).
• Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation.
