Job Details

NEW 2023: rare junior / mid corporate or finance lawyer for the aspiring associate looking for a change of life (sun and sea for a start!).  Corporate London/Off-Shore Relocators welcome.  With several good quarters' (and even recent months') billings in the bag, this top tier global practice pays at the top end of the scale for the Caribbean and is a relative safe haven in the current climate for those looking for such. The corporate work collects here globally and you will be involved, from the start, in some of the premier deals.  Depending on your experience, this opportunity would take a junior associate or even a bit less or of-counsel or work to give the latter that all important 'jump' to offshore, that may well be the reason for a move.  

Based in the City of London, Dan qualified as a solicitor in 2003 and is the owner of one of the longest serving legal recruitment agencies in London and the South East of England, Ellis-Wake. He regularly advises his clients on the complexity of the legal market, on their strategic future and is a known 'connector' and 'influencer' in the recruitment market. Dan's experience stretches back to 2004 and he's seen many significant changes in Global and local legal and recruitment markets and has recruited successfully in all of them.

If this role is of interest please contact Dan Wake (Director) in confidence at dan.wake@elliswake.com or on (+44) 7894 085 790.

Ellis-Wake acts as an employment agency for permanent roles.
