If you are an Australian and have been interested in exploring the London, New York, Dublin or other legal markets - now is a great time to start having discussions to understand the best next steps for your level. While it is still a slow moving process, knowing what to expect and how to best position yourself for an overseas move is key.   🇦🇺 The Australian market continues to be very active, with opportunities for lawyers of all levels across various practice groups. Some of the current opportunities we have been briefed on by top-tier firms this week include: 1️⃣ Band 1 Restructuring & Insolvency team - Senior Associate / Associate - Sydney 2️⃣ Band 1 Technology, Media and Telecommunications team - Associate (must be 3PQE+) - Sydney 3️⃣ Band 1 Energy & Resources team - Senior Associate (must be minimum SA1 or about to be promoted) - Melbourne 4️⃣ Band 1 Energy & Resources team - Associate - Brisbane 5️⃣ Band 1 Real Estate team - Associate - Sydney   If you would like to chat generally about the market, hear about overseas opportunities or discuss the roles mentioned above - reach out directly via LinkedIn or email (gabriella.ogrady@sonderconsultants.com) to set up a confidential discussion. Always happy to chat!

"How's the market?" Short answer - it's looking promising. After a slow-ish end to the financial year (which always happens) our clients are in growth mode. Plenty of new opportunities coming to market, and a lot of movement off the back of lawyers receiving their pay increases, bonuses and promotions. Can't see it slowing down any time soon. It's a great time to be looking in-house. As always, some segments of the market are busier than others. Most of the roles we have available are at the 2 - 8 PQE level. It's still challenging for senior lawyers as opportunities are limited, and processes are very competitive. Some industries are also performing better than others. Tech is still lagging a little, but we are noticing a few roles trickling through in that space. Jake's exceptionally busy across the renewable energy and projects space. He's got 10 live roles available for construction, projects and property lawyers, in Sydney and Melbourne. Toby is working on a number of really exciting opportunities with consumer businesses. Think iconic global retail giants, and household-name Australian FMCG companies. He's also got a few roles in the healthcare and medical devices sectors. Again, across Sydney and Melbourne. I've got opportunities available across the retail, healthcare, investment management, financial services and charity sectors. Below is a snapshot of what we're working on. Please reach out to me if you're interested in discussing an in-house move, or if you're a General Counsel / Recruitment Manager looking to hire a lawyer (at any level). If you know anyone looking to move in-house, send them my way and we'll offer a generous referral incentive (usually $2 - $5k depending on the seniority level) if we place them in a role.

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙡𝙖𝙬 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝? Aside from the obvious one of wanting to recruit the brightest legal talent, one thing one of our New York clients once told my colleague Jonathan Walmsley really sticks out. This partner said to him that whilst they could recruit another New York based lawyer from another Wall Street firm who would be plug and play, there would be no added excitement about being in New York per se. It's business as usual. Bringing an Australian or Canadian into the team added energy and their sheer excitement about being in New York, brought an X factor to a team dynamic where the net positive contribution outweighed the additional expense of recruiting from overseas. For candidates: we are one of the world's largest specialist legal recruitment firms with offices in London, New York, San Francisco, Houston, Los Angeles, Dubai, Sydney and Brisbane. From these bases we recruit into all corners of the world. We can give you a full global picture of opportunities open to you. If you are an Australian or Canadian lawyer thinking about how best to plan a move over to the US, or you are getting FOMO from all of your friends making the move - get in touch! #internationalrecruitment #biglaw #law #hiring #newyork #losangeles #australia #canada
