In a departure from our usual updates about the legal sector and the demand for lawyers and HR professionals, today we focus specifically on one of our clients which, we are pleased to announce, is also a new client for Oyster.

By way of background, the firm has its roots in the US and a long established presence both there and in Asia and it is particularly well known for its expertise in Litigation and Corporate M&A in sectors such as Life Sciences and Technology. Culturally, it has a distinct make-up, with a diverse range of employees and no particular “type” of person.

As you’d expect, the work is first rate and the clients blue chip. What you might not expect is that target hours are similar to a Top 20 UK law firm as opposed to a White Shoe firm, so whilst you will undoubtedly work hard, you can also achieve some sort of work-life balance. Many Trainees stay with the firm long term.

The firm’s European strategy is focused upon growing across a number of practice areas in London and continental Europe so if you are a 1-3PQE Corporate M&A lawyer, a Capital Markets lawyer with equity derivatives experience or perhaps a specialist in Technology transactions, then please do get in touch to find out more.

Alternatively, for a more general discussion about our client and/or your career more then please contact Michael Pickup.

As we announced in our earlier blog Oyster in 2016, this year we aim to further develop our legal recruitment offering and, in response to client feedback, to sharpen our focus on particular areas of practice. One of these areas is Real Estate & Construction. So if you are looking to change jobs in 2016 then you may wish to look at the following list of current vacancies for Real Estate and Construction lawyers:

Legal Director 8+PQE, in-house, Manchester

Senior Associate, Contentious Construction, Law Firm, Doha

Real Estate Lawyer 2-7PQE, Top 20 Law Firm, Cambridge

Real Estate Development Lawyer, 6+PQE, Law Firm, Norwich

Planning Lawyer 4-5PQE, Top 100 UK Law Firm, London

Non-Contentious Construction Lawyer 2-5PQE, Top 40 Law Firm, London

Non-Contentious Construction Lawyer 2-3PQE, Top 100 UK Law Firm, London

Apply online or, for more information, please contact Michael Pickup at Oyster Search & Selection

The high level of demand for HR professionals in January continues pretty much where we left off in December with a number of law firm and financial services clients looking to recruit. Demand is across the board, both HR Generalist and Specialist, permanent and interim and we fully expect this trend to continue in the months ahead so please do take a look at the latest list of opportunities below and contact us if anything catches your eye. Even if you are not actively looking just at the moment, feel free to get in touch should you need more general advice and/or simply wish to register your interest in future HR vacancies.
