IS IT A GOOD CAREER MOVE?

This is always a tricky question to answer because it depends what you want from your career. If your ambition is to become a partner in a magic circle firm then a move offshore may not be for you. However, most lawyers that go offshore do not regret their decision and many will become Partners in the firms that they join. With offices around the world there is also now a way back “home” wherever that may be. Many offshore lawyers will not head back to the mainstream UK and US firms and this is because they do not want to. They have found a work/life balance that pays them well and gives them time to enjoy themselves. Partners in offshore firms often look fitter and younger than their peers back in London.
