The Legal Market
‍

The offshore legal sector in London is continuously thriving, with several top offshore law firms providing expertise on Cayman, BVI, Jersey, Guernsey and Bermuda law from their growing City offices. London offices are key business development and marketing hubs for offshore firms, offering access to key City clients and giving lawyers the chance to build out complex international practices.
‍

The work is dynamic, broad and engaging, often requiring the management of a high volume of matters alongside extensive client interaction and active involvement in business development. These roles are ideal for lawyers with offshore experience looking to return to the UK, as well as those seeking high-calibre City work in a smaller team with a more flexible practice and very reasonable hours requirements.
‍

Renumeration
‍

London offshore law firms generally align their remuneration with that of City firms, offering competitive salaries that reflect the high standards of the market. Professionals can also expect attractive bonuses and a range of benefits, although the typical tax advantages of traditional offshore jurisdictions are not provided. Many of these firms place a strong emphasis on work-life balance, offering more flexible hours than traditional City roles, which can make for a more manageable and rewarding working environment.
‍

Practice Areas
‍

There is a steady need for UK or Commonwealth qualified lawyers with strong backgrounds in Corporate, Finance, or Investment Funds, and occasionally in Commercial Litigation and Insolvency. Roles tend to be at Senior Associate and above with prior offshore experience preferred.
