About the Channel Islands

Located within an hour of London, Jersey and Guernsey are world-class financial centres that offer City calibre work combined with a coastal lifestyle that is worlds apart.  They each house offices of almost every major offshore practice, fielding teams of largely ex-City/International firm lawyers advising on high-value and complex matters. The firms encourage a commercial, client focused approach and most will find that the levels of involvement and responsibility compare favourably with a big onshore outfit. 

Opportunities for career progression right through to Partnership are excellent.  Outside of the office, a good work/life balance allows ample time to enjoy the attractions whether it is coastal walks or a local restaurant, a round of golf or learning to surf.  It is an evocative mix of professional challenge and personal fulfilment that many lawyers find hard to walk away from but should you decide to move on, experience here will be marketable around the world.  To find out more please contact us for a copy of our Guide to Living and Working in the Channel Islands.
