Experienced Corporate Lawyer (Cayman Islands) in London

A move to the Cayman Islands offers sophisticated international work for big-ticket clients. It offers the chance to work in smaller teams, alongside some of the best lawyers in the profession. It offers the money and career path to compare with almost any onshore outfit. And it offers the chance to spend your downtime in the Caribbean.

We’re looking for someone with strong corporate experience from a firm that does high-value cross-border work. You might specialise in a certain sector of corporate or you might come from a broader transactional background; either way you will be excited by the prospect of a varied role that spans M&A, Capital Markets, Private Equity, and some Corporate Finance work. The work here is challenging and fast-paced, and standards are high, but people really enjoy it. The balance is good for a firm operating at this level, and the team has a nice, friendly, down-to-earth culture.

If you think an offshore move might be for you, get in touch and we can discuss in more detail. There is no ‘hard sell’; to do something like this it needs to be the right role, in the right location, at the right time. If it isn’t, we can keep in touch for the future; if it is, this could be a moment that defines your career and changes your life.

• Overseas qualified lawyers must be admitted in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand or Canada).
• Expected to suit someone with around 5 - 8 years’ PQE but all applicants with the right skill will be carefully considered.
• Experience of high-value corporate work, gained with a major onshore or offshore law firm.

• Attractive tax-free salary (negotiable depending on experience).
• Comprehensive benefits and bonus.
• Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).

• Interviews will take place by videoconference.
• Start dates typically around 3-6 months later (depending on your notice period).
• Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation.

A world-class international financial centre, Grand Cayman offers lawyers the opportunity to do high-quality and complex work that compares favourably with that in a leading onshore law firm. Outside of work, the climate lends itself to an outdoors lifestyle whether that be diving, sailing, relaxing on the beach or enjoying a bite to eat at a waterfront restaurant. Life here is good; rarely does anyone regret making the move.

Our team has 25 years’ experience of helping lawyers to make international and offshore moves. If you would like to find out more about this role or chat about an overseas move in general, please get in touch.
