Australian & New Zealand Qualified Lawyers - Contract roles

We are keen to speak with Australian and/or New Zealand qualified Lawyers who are moving across to the UK and looking to secure legal work. We are working with a number of clients who are interested in Australian and/or New Zealand-qualified lawyers looking for contract roles in the UK.

The contract roles we are instructed on range in duration, varying from 3 months through to 12 months and beyond, and are well suited for those with ideally upwards of 2 years' post qualified (admitted) experience.

Unfortunately, clients will not provide sponsorship for contract roles, so candidates must have the relevant right to work in the UK (for example a British passport, Tier 5 visa or ancestry visa. This is not an exhaustive list).

We are well-positioned to assist you in your search for legal work within the UK, having a strong client base across law firms, In-House businesses and alternative legal service providers.

In the contracting market, we are currently seeing a demand for candidates with experience in the following skillsets:

• Corporate M&A
• General Commercial
• Commercial Tech
• Banking & Finance
• Funds
• Non-Contentious Construction
• FS Regulatory

If you are an Australian or New Zealand-qualified lawyer, with experience in the aforementioned skillsets, looking to move across to the UK (or having recently relocated), please do get in touch.

It is likely candidates will have a strong background within top-tier law firms or notable in-house organisations.

Please apply with your CV to Jennifer Pike in confidence.

Jameson Legal acts as an employment business for temporary recruitment and as an employment agency for fixed term contract and permanent recruitment.

Please note: Where a level of experience, such as 'PQE', is indicated, please note that this is a guideline only and represents the amount of time we would usually expect a candidate to accumulate the requisite level of experience. This does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience
