Premier offshore law firm actively seeks a senior commercial disputes lawyer with circa 3-5yrs PQE to join its expanding Hong Kong office. A barrister or solicitor, you will have a superb academic pedigree and have gained your experience to date with a top tier international/offshore law firm or leading London chambers. Chinese language skills are ideally required.
The successful applicant will be working on a wide range of litigation, restructuring and insolvency matters sourced from Asia, involving Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands entities, structures and issues. In particular, the work includes shareholder disputes (e.g. derivative actions, unfair prejudice petitions and JV disputes), disputes arising from mergers and acquisitions, contentious and non-contentious insolvency, solvent and insolvent liquidations, restructurings, distressed entity work, court-supervised corporate matters (including shareholder and creditor schemes of arrangement, capital re-organisations and company restorations) security enforcement, contentious private client work (in particular, trusts disputes), investment funds disputes and general advisory work. Most, if not all, of the work has an international or cross-border aspect, which sees the team regularly advising on high profile matters for blue chip international clients, while there will also be a strong BD aspect to this position, so an outgoing personality is essential.
In return for your efforts, our client offers a variety of interesting and challenging work within a friendly and collegiate environment. Furthermore, the financial package is very attractive and includes a generous bonus element.
Those interested should send their CV in confidence to info@agnewobrien.com quoting the appropriate reference or alternatively feel free to apply directly through this website.
