Litigation Lawyer

Channel Islands, United Kingdom Origin Legal Full time

This respected offshore law firm is looking for a litigation associate to join its Guernsey office. The role promises the opportunity to work closely with Partners on a varied practice that includes some big-ticket commercial, financial services, and insolvency work, as well as more general cases that might include employment, personal injury, or property disputes for example. It will suit someone with good foundations in litigation, who is eager to learn on the job and build their skillset, and who enjoys the challenge of a practice where no two days are the same. You will also be encouraged to play an active role in client management and business development, making it an excellent move for someone who really wants to get involved in every aspect of the firm’s work.

The role is most likely to suit someone in the 2-6 years’ PQE range, but we are happy to consider any suitably qualified applicants. You will be UK or Guernsey qualified, or if qualified elsewhere, you will have experience practising in the UK, Ireland, or offshore. While City lawyers are of course encouraged to apply, this background is not essential – we are equally keen to hear from regional lawyers with good credentials in a contentious team.

Guernsey offers a high standard of living on a beautiful island. The salary will be competitive and subject to only 20% tax. The professional exposure will be first-class and the prospects for progression good. For the right person, this might just be the perfect combination of lifestyle and career move.
