Job Description:
This elite offshore law firm is looking for an experienced corporate lawyer who is technically excellent with impeccable client management skills. Based in its Jersey office, you will be joining a team that advises a flagship client on a multitude of high-value corporate matters, enabling you to gain an in-depth knowledge of their business and to really focus on providing outstanding legal advice without the distraction of business development.
The work will be complex, high-value and varied, with a strong element of M&A so a proven track record of transaction management is essential. You can expect to be consistently busy, with no difficulty hitting targets, and since this is viewed as a vital role, your prospects for career development are excellent.

* Likely to suit someone with 5-8 years’ PQE. (All suitable applicants considered).
* Strong corporate/M&A experience with a recognised commercial law firm.
* Language skills (in particular, French or Swedish) would be an asset but this is not a requirement.
Package
* Competitive salary (negotiable depending on experience), 20% tax rate.
* Benefits and excellent bonus scheme.
* Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).
Process
* Interviews will take place by videoconference
* Start dates negotiable (depending on your notice period).
* Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation.
The Channel Islands
For a city-based lawyer who thrives on big-ticket work but craves an escape from the rat race, few places compete with the Channel Islands, home to two of the world’s premier offshore financial centres. Jersey and Guernsey have strong and highly competitive legal sectors, housing teams that number many alumni of the leading London or international outfits amongst their ranks. They do complex blue-chip work, in a nice environment without the trappings of a big law firm culture. Work-life balance tends to be good, leaving plenty of time to enjoy what is an enviable coastal lifestyle and London is only an hour away making it easy to get that city fix when (or if) you need it.
