Client
Our client is a world class legal services firm who provide solutions to clients seeking specialised expertise on corporate, company and commercial, litigation, restructuring and insolvency, and trust and private client matters
As one of the world’s leading Insurance/Reinsurance and financial centres, Bermuda is also a jurisdiction of choice for funds, asset finance and for incorporating global companies seeking to list on internationally recognized stock exchanges and is widely regarded as one of the highest calibre offshore jurisdictions.
Role
Due to recent internal promotion, the firm has a requirement for an experienced litigator with a minimum of 9 up to 12 years PQE or call. You will handle matters involving all aspects of commercial law including insurance / reinsurance disputes, trust litigation, general commercial disputes, distressed funds and insolvency work.
Applicants will be skilled in the resolution of all types of commercial and civil disputes, whether through litigation or arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. The team includes experienced advocates who have full rights of audience, conducting litigation at all levels of the court system and therefore candidates with advocacy experience are favoured
Candidate
Candidates are required to have at least 10 years PQE or call with a recognised UK or Commonwealth firm or set of Chambers. Strong advocacy experience is a key requirement.
Bermuda
When it comes to offering job opportunities accompanied by tax-free saving and the enjoyment of an active social life, Bermuda is second to none. The island also offers countless sporting activities you can get involved in (such as diving or playing golf, tennis, beach volleyball, football, cricket or rugby) as well as the chance to meet many other young professionals with a similar positive attitude to life. Bermuda jobs therefore come with highly desirable additional benefits beyond the working office. Due to the proximity of Hamilton to most areas, many residents do not have much of a commute to and from the office. This allows you far more freedom and personal time before and after work each day to enjoy yourself or just relax, contributing to the superb quality of life on offer.
