We're working with a leading law firm that's looking to hire a collaborative and ambitious lawyer to join its International ITPC practice in Guernsey. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified solicitor or barrister with experience in non-contentious trust matters to become part of a globally integrated team advising high-value clients on complex trust, private wealth, and structuring issues.
About the Team
The ITPC practice spans three offices, functioning as one fully integrated group. It combines non-contentious advisory work with niche specialisms including private wealth planning, structuring, and trust disputes. In Guernsey, the focus will be on non-contentious trust work, with opportunities to collaborate closely with both the dispute resolution team and the corporate group - particularly on private funds and bespoke corporate structures for private clients.

* Oversee junior lawyers, providing guidance and feedback, while escalating key issues as needed.
* Support the efficient use of Partner time by anticipating and resolving day-to-day legal and administrative queries.
* Contribute to team development and business growth through knowledge sharing and participation in marketing and BD initiatives.
* Maintain a strong focus on professional development and compliance with CPD requirements.
What's on Offer
* High levels of client contact and responsibility within a supportive and friendly environment.
* Competitive salary and benefits package, with options to tailor to your lifestyle.
* A team committed to career development, continuous learning, and excellence in client service.
What We're Looking For
* Qualified Solicitor or Barrister (ideally from a common law jurisdiction) with at least 2 year's post-qualification experience in non-contentious trusts or private client law.
* STEP qualification (or willingness to work towards it).
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with excellent attention to detail.
* Proactive mindset and the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities.
* Confident file management and a good understanding of billing and time-recording practices.
* A team player with a collaborative, client-focused approach.
