An opening exists for a senior level trust lawyer to join a highly respected team advising private clients, family offices, trust companies and other intermediaries on some of the most innovative and interesting private wealth management work in the world.
This is a broad-reaching role that will focus on non-contentious work but also see you supporting colleagues in litigation when contentious matters arise, making it the ideal platform for someone looking to really establish themselves as an expert in the field. You will play a key role in business development and client management, benefitting from the opportunity to develop your own network of contacts, and so the scope for career development is 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 at least 6 years’ PQE (all suitable applicants considered).
- Experience of advising high-net-worth private clients on complex wealth management structures is expected. Previous experience of working with international clients and/or advising on offshore trusts would be an asset but is not essential.
Package
- Attractive 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 with possible island visit at final stage.
- 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.
