  • Candidate: Senior Magic Circle Lawyer
  • Level: 8 PQE
  • Transition: From Magic Circle Firm to Offshore Law Firm in Hong Kong
  • Practice Area: M&A/Funds

Background

When Sonia Taylor (Head of Asia) began exploring options for this senior-level candidate, they expressed a desire for something distinct—a role where they could build a practice and have a real opportunity to make Partner. Initially focused on traditional onshore firms, Sonia posed an alternative: would they consider exploring offshore firm roles?

The Process

Although offshore law firms hadn’t been on their radar, Sonia arranged a series of meetings with three top-tier offshore firms to help the candidate get a sense of the unique opportunities available. After these discussions, two firms extended offers, giving the candidate choices that aligned with their goals.

The Outcome

The candidate accepted an offer with a highly regarded offshore firm where they now work on innovative deals and pursue new challenges. Their move was well-rewarded—they achieved Partnership just last year, marking a fulfilling step in their career.

Recruiter Insight

“This candidate’s openness to exploring less conventional options truly paid off, leading them to a position where they can thrive and achieve their long-term goals.” - Sonia Taylor
