Employment Counsel – Bermuda \n\n It’s not often that a role arises for a senior employment lawyer to make an offshore move, so if you’re pondering a complete change of scene, but don’t wish to compromise your career or your earning potential, this one is worth a look. \n\n Our client is searching for someone with the experience and gravitas to command the confidence of high-calibre clients, both employers and senior executives. You will take a lead on a varied workload that leans towards the contentious side, including all related court work and tribunals, but still involves non-contentious advisory work on a wide array of employment matters. In addition, you will also advise clients on the full gamut of immigration matters, so you will need to gain knowledge of, and then stay up to date with, developments in Bermudian immigration regulations. \n\n This is a busy role with plenty of scope for growth, and it will suit someone who is passionate about their work but craves a different environment, not only outside of the office but also in terms of the firm’s culture. \n\n Requirements \n\n\n\t • Significant experience of advising high-value employer/executive clients, gained with a respected commercial law firm in the UK/Australia/NZ/Canada or in an offshore financial centre.\n\t, • Strong advocacy experience (court / tribunal).\n\t, • Non-Bermudian lawyers must be admitted in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa).\n\t, • Attractive low-tax salary, negotiable depending on experience.\n\t, • Comprehensive benefits and bonus.\n\t, • Interviews will take place by videoconference\n\t, • Start dates negotiable - typically around 3-6 months later (depending on your notice period).\n\t
