Lawyers - Offshore

Offshore law firms offer a refreshing alternative to life in the City. The work is complex and challenging and typically spread over multiple ongoing matters rather than focused on one all-encompassing deal or case. Client contact and responsibility come as standard, even for more junior lawyers. Salaries compare well to the vast majority of City law firms, and when low or zero tax is taken into account, this can be a highly lucrative move. All of our clients provide full benefits and generous relocation allowances as well as all the assistance you need when it comes to the challenges and practicalities of relocating. Long-term career prospects are at least as good as onshore, and in many cases notably stronger.  Work-life balance is invariably better than the equivalent onshore firm and the relaxed coastal lifestyle is quite simply a world apart from London or any other big city.  

If you are looking for a change and this has whet your appetite, take a look at our website where you will find all of our offshore vacancies – currently 35+ roles at various levels in corporate, banking & finance, funds, commercial litigation, insolvency, trusts, and commercial property.  Demand for junior lawyers in the Channel Islands is high and demand for lawyers in the 3 to 10 years’ range of experience is high across all jurisdictions. You will also find guides and resources with more information about the positives (and any potential negatives) of a move offshore.  

Alternatively, please contact Jason Horobin who would be happy to discuss any aspect of a move offshore, whether you are just ‘finding out more’ or whether you are ready to go.  Jason has been helping lawyers to make offshore career moves for over sixteen years and is able to provide comprehensive advice on the legal markets in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey as well as the offshore law firms’ offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore.
