Professional Support Lawyer (based in Bermuda)

This leading offshore law firm is looking for an experienced corporate lawyer/PSL to take on a key role in the development of the knowledge management operation in its fast-growing Bermuda office. This is a wide-ranging role that will see you working in close collaboration with local Partners and with knowledge management colleagues across the firm’s network. You will be instrumental in planning and executing the knowledge strategy, ensuring that you and your colleagues are always up to date with technical and legal market developments. You will also play an active role in client marketing pieces and will be responsible for maintaining a strong precedent/know-how library.

This could be the perfect opportunity for someone who is looking for a role where they can really influence things. It promises interesting work as part of a small but high-performing team, a friendly and down to earth culture, and a good tax-efficient salary, not to mention all the lifestyle benefits that come as standard in Bermuda.

• Likely to suit someone with at least 5 years’ PQE (minimum 3 years’ PQE required for work permit).
• A strong corporate background is required. Some experience of knowledge management/professional support would be ideal but is not essential for the right person.

• Attractive low-tax salary, negotiable depending on experience.
• Comprehensive benefits and bonus.
• Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).

• Interviews will take place by videoconference.
• Start dates typically around 3-6 months later (depending on your notice period).
• Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation.

Bermuda offers you the opportunity to live and work in one of the most sought-after locations on the planet. 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.
