Restructuring Lawyer (Bermuda based)

International corporate restructuring work with an outstanding offshore boutique in Bermuda. Associate to Counsel.

Below covers everything you need to know about what this opportunity entails, as well as what is expected from applicants.

In the onshore world, the size of the firm often dictates the quality of the work. Not in Bermuda. This long-established boutique routinely acts as Bermuda counsel, advising on major cross-border matters alongside some of the most prestigious law firms in the world.

It has a live opening for a non-contentious restructuring specialist and would be keen to speak with interested lawyers at any level from mid-Associate right through to Counsel. This is an opportunity to work closely with heavyweight Partners, doing complex international work but in an environment very different to most big onshore firms. It’s perfect for someone who takes their career seriously, and who also prizes having a life outside of the office.

Requirements

Overseas qualified lawyers must be admitted in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa). A minimum of 3 years’ PQE is required for work permit. The firm is happy to consider applicants at all levels above that, up to and including Counsel. Relevant corporate experience gained with a leading offshore/UK/equivalent commercial firm is essential.

Package

Market leading low-tax salary, negotiable depending on experience. Benefits and bonus. Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).

Bermuda

Bermuda offers you the opportunity to live and work in one of the world’s most desirable locations. The island benefits from a mild year-round climate, never too cold in the winter and rarely too hot in the summer. It is famed for its picture-postcard pink sand beaches and crystal-clear ocean, but it also has plenty of history and boasts all the attractions associated with a luxury holiday destination. And if you should need a break from island life, with regular direct flights to London, New York and other parts of the US, it is particularly well connected.
