Corporate Lawyer – British Virgin Islands
Joining a small team that handles a wide variety of high-quality international work, this role guarantees a level of exposure that is simply unattainable for an associate at this level in a large onshore firm.
You will work closely with Partners and deal directly with clients, advising on the full gamut of corporate matters including some focus on funds, regulatory and crypto related matters. It is fast-moving and complex work that will at times require you to juggle competing demands. If you want to practice at the highest level but find the more rigid structures of a large corporate team restrictive, you will likely thrive in this environment.
Requirements
Overseas qualified lawyers must be admitted in the UK. Likely to suit someone with 2-3 years’ PQE. Experience of high-value corporate work from a good UK or equivalent law firm is essential. Any prior exposure to funds or crypto work would be beneficial but is not a requirement. Package
Salary expected to be in the range of USD120k-USD140k with a low tax-rate (c8%) Comprehensive benefits and bonus. Relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance). Process
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. British Virgin Islands For some, the BVI is the pick of the Caribbean. A mountainous, rain forested interior surrounded by picture-postcard bays, it is probably not far from the idyllic image that might cross your mind when you ponder whether there is ‘more to life’. It’s not for everyone. You will need to be comfortable with a slower pace, you will see its remoteness as a gift rather than an inconvenience, and you will be the sort of person who gets more out of sailing, diving, or relaxing on the beach than you do from the buzz of city life. If that’s you, you will love it here. Not to mention that the work, much of it emanating out of China/Asia, is some of the most interesting and challenging in the sector. Origin Legal International 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.
