Senior Commercial Barrister/Advocate - Bermuda

This respected offshore law firm is keen to bolster its Bermuda-based dispute resolution practice with the addition of an experienced commercial litigation lawyer at Senior Associate or perhaps Counsel level.

\\n\\n

It is an opportunity to join an impressive team advising on a broad range of contentious work including high-value commercial and contractual disputes, contentious insolvency, banking and financial services litigation, and commercial fraud. You will be involved in conducting cases at various levels of court so you will need to be a proven advocate with strong drafting and opinion writing skills. You will also play an integral role in the firm’s business development efforts, so confidence in both a marketing and client management capacity is essential.

Bermuda

\\n\\n

Bermuda offers you the opportunity to live and work in one of the world’s most desirable locations. The island benefits from a mild year-round climate, never too cold in the winter and rarely too hot in the summer. It is famed for its picture-postcard pink sand beaches and crystal-clear ocean, but it also has plenty of history and boasts all the attractions associated with a luxury holiday destination. And if you should need a break from island life, with regular direct flights to London, New York and other parts of the US, it is particularly well connected.
