This prestigious offshore law firm is looking for an experienced banking and finance lawyer to take on a key role in its fast-growing Guernsey team, advising on broad range of work including structured, leveraged, asset, and real estate finance.
This could be an ideal fit for an ambitious lawyer who wants to do high-quality international banking and finance transactions, but who is attracted, outside of work, to the more relaxed coastal lifestyle that comes with island living. As well as taking a lead on matters you will also play an active role in the team’s ongoing business development efforts as well as helping to mentor and supervise more junior colleagues. Opportunities for progression in Guernsey or internationally, are excellent.
Requirements
- Admitted in the UK, Ireland or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa).
- This role is expected to suit someone with a minimum of 4 years’ PQE (all suitable applicants considered).
- General banking and finance experience would be ideal but lawyers with specialist finance experience who are happy to take on a broader workload, would also be a good fit.
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.
- 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.
