Description

Banking & Finance Lawyer - Cayman Islands
An international offshore heavyweight is looking for an experienced finance lawyer for its highly respected Cayman Islands practice.

If you crave a complete change of scene but are wary about compromising your career, this could be your answer.

Joining an impressive team of ex-City/international firm lawyers, you will quickly see that the quality here compares with any top-tier onshore firm.

The practice spans the full range of finance work but tends to have a particular focus on acquisition, leveragedand funds finance as well as more general structured finance/debt capital markets work.

Once you know the ropes you will be encouraged to take a lead role, getting hands-on experience and enabling you to build your network of contacts in the market.

It's anideal environment for someone who enjoys a varied and fast-paced practice and who thrives in a client facing role.

Outside of work, the Cayman Islands has a great deal to offer.

Its climate and beachside environment are perfect for an outdoor lifestyle of diving, sailing, water sports, or just relaxing with a drink in a waterfront bar.

It has all the buzz of an internationalfinancial centre and tourist destination, with a strong ex-pat community, but also lots of places where you can get away from it all and enjoy a more laid-back Caribbean lifestyle.

And, when you need a fix of city life (or just a shopping trip) you can bein Miami in an hour.

To be considered for this role you will need:

A minimum of 2.5 years' post-qualification experience (Cayman Islands work permit rules require 3 years' PQE by the date of arrival).
Admission in the United Kingdom or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand or Canada).
Experience of highvalue finance work is essential, but the firm is happy to consider finance generalists or those with more targeted finance expertise in one of the core areas.
