This prestigious offshore law firm has an outstanding reputation for advising high-net-worth private clients and associated institutions on all manner of international wealth management and trusts work. It is now keen to make two additional hires as follows:

  • Junior Private Client / Trust Lawyer - NQ to 3 years' relevant PQE*
  • Mid/Senior Private Client / Trust Lawyer - 4 to 7 years' relevant PQE*

Whilst there may be some flexibility, it is anticipated that the junior role will be based out of the Jersey office whilst the more senior lawyer can be located in either Jersey or Guernsey.

Joining a team that rates highly in the key legal directories, you will quickly find yourself taking on a diverse, intellectually stimulating workload for an international client base of the highest calibre. Junior lawyers will enjoy early responsibility and client contact whilst a more experienced lawyer can expect to be leading on matters and taking on a key role in practice development. Opportunities for career progression at all levels are excellent.

In order to be considered, you will be UK/Ireland/Australian/NZ qualified with a good track record of advising high-net-worth clients on private client/wealth management matters. Applicants for the more senior role will ideally have had some exposure to trust work.

This is a great opportunity to work alongside market leading partners handling top-quality matters for a high-end client base. It comes with an attractive London level salary package, good development prospects and all the lifestyle advantages that the Channel Islands have to offer. Ref.8342a
