Successful Applicants will receive:
- A knowledgeable consultant contact in Australia, as well as in London, dedicated to guiding you through your job search and market conditions;
- Inside information about opportunities in leading London, regional, and international law firms;
- Competitive salary brackets in line with a buoyant market with consultant assistance in negotiating a strong salary and bonus + benefit package if relevant.
If you are planning to relocate to London with less than 4 years PQE, you will likely find the market extremely competitive for qualified lawyer roles. You will be competing against a surplus of England & Wales qualified lawyers with local market experience. Should you relocate to the UK with less than 4 PQE in Aus/NZ, you may find that your CV is geared towards paralegal opportunities. This advice is general and will really depend on an individual’s specific experience.
