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.

Process

Interviews will take place by videoconference with start dates typically around 3-4 months later (depending on your notice period). Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas (where required) and relocation.

Requirements

You will be admitted in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction and are likely to have at least 5 years’ experience of handling high-value corporate/M&A work. City and/or offshore experience is valued but not essential, and lawyers from good UK regional firms or international firms are encouraged to apply. Strong technical and communication skills are a prerequisite.

Package

Competitive salary (negotiable, depending on experience) with reduced tax rate (20%). Benefits, bonus, and relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).
