Newly qualified lawyer – March or September 2018 - exciting opportunities to join the Jersey or Guernsey office of a world-class offshore law firm. You can expect
- Advise on the offshore elements of high-quality, ‘City calibre’ international matters;
- Work closely with some of the most respected lawyers in the offshore world;
- Gain significant levels of responsibility and client contact from the outset;
- Earn a London level salary at 20% tax, with strong benefits and a relocation package;
- Enjoy a work-life balance that is simply unattainable in a comparable onshore firm;
- Experience a relaxed coastal lifestyle on a beautiful island with a good social scene.
Demand is notably high for people looking to qualify into corporate, banking & finance or funds but there are also opportunities for aspiring commercial litigators and private client/trust lawyers.
In order to be considered you will likely have:
- Trained in a good commercial law firm (i.e. London, National, top regional or leading Scots.);
- Completed at least one relevant seat;
- Gained strong academics (almost certainly 2.I +);
- Good technical and client-facing communication skills.
First round interviews take place over the telephone or skype with second stage interviews being a visit to the island for an in-person interview and meetings with other associates who have made the move.
Interviews are underway now for September newly qualified roles but we anticipate a high-level of demand right through to the summer. If you have any questions or you are interested in finding out more, please contact Jason Horobin.
