Job Details
**HONG KONG - COMMERCIAL LITIGATION - JUNIOR PARTNER ROLE**
Our client is a major global law firm, operating in key financial centres across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior commercial litigator to join their excellent global dispute resolution practice in Hong Kong. This is a newly created role –as opposed to a replacement hire – and forms part of the ambitious growth strategy of the firm’s global dispute resolution practice. You will join a team of three litigation partners well established in the Hong Kong market. Workload will cover a wide range of international commercial litigation and restructuring and insolvency matters including shareholder disputes, board disputes, valuation disputes arising from major M&A transactions, insolvency, liquidations, restructurings, security and judgment/award enforcement and investment trust disputes.
You may already be a Partner or a senior Counsel looking to make the next step in your career. You will have a very solid commercial/insolvency litigation background from a global law firm in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney or similar major global financial centre. You will be ambitious, keen to succeed and to progress your career, to generate business; and to further build out the litigation practice under the aegis of the firm. A client following is not required, nor are Mandarin language skills.
On offer will be a highly competitive financial package at a low tax rate and the opportunity to further your career within a highly collegiate major law firm committed to its global dispute resolution practice and it’s long standing presence in Hong Kong!
