International search

The International Team at MRA Search is dedicated to searches in Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and offshore jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Jersey and Guernsey.

We assist lawyers in relocating internationally between jurisdictions and around the overseas locations where we, as a business, do not currently have a physical presence.

Drawing on decades of experience and bespoke jurisdictional knowledge, our International team has successfully facilitated moves for lawyers at all levels, from newly qualified associates up to partner-level.

What we do

Our focus is on providing a dependable and professional service, and we have built a strong track record of success to prove it.

Our consultants are experts in their specific markets. They have worked with leading law firms for many years and therefore have an in-depth understanding of what clients are looking for in their overseas lawyers.

We understand the complexities of moving internationally, and we are on hand to help candidates make the move as smooth as possible. We will work with you through all the stages of the process, from submitting your CV to setting up interviews across time zones, and working with you to negotiate your offers.

Given the comparative scale and complexity of any international move, and the additional risks involved for both the individual moving and the hiring business, our position in the process is far more consultative and ‘involved’ than most recruitment relationships.

As well as ensuring that the match on paper is a good one, extra care needs to be taken to ensure that individual lawyers' aspirations are realistic, and that their motivations are genuine and appropriate for a particular market.

In situations where people are uprooting both their lives (and in many instances, their entire families’ lives) as well as their careers, there can be no room for error. At MRA Search, we are incredibly proud of our track record of facilitating moves that have proven to be long-term-to-permanent placements, which shows how effective we are at ‘getting it right’. The testimonials that our consultants receive individually often speak to the honesty and integrity with which we operate. These values remain at our core.

The relationships that we foster with both candidates and valued clients are long-lasting, often spanning many years. Although in the right circumstances, an international move can unfold surprisingly quickly, it’s not something that should ever feel rushed.

Whether you’re at the outset armed only with an idea that you might like to spend some time overseas, but don’t know where or when and how to start the process, or, whether you have a solid idea about exactly where you want to be and why and need assistance exploring more intricate aspects of a particular market to find the perfect fitting role, we can assist at any stage in your thought process,

We provide an unrivalled level of market insight and understanding of the unique procedures involved in relocating to a host of different jurisdictions.

Your career and international move are in the safest and most experienced of hands.
