Job Description

This prestigious offshore law firm is looking for a junior to mid-level corporate/ finance lawyer to take on a broad practice which will include exposure to the fast-growing fintech/ crypto/ digital assets sector. Joining a small but highly impressive team, this is an ideal opportunity to fast track your development as you gain hands-on experience across a range of high-quality international work, and plenty of client contact from the outset. Opportunities for career development are brilliant.

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.

Process

Interviews will take place by videoconference with start dates typically around 4-6 months later. Our clients provide comprehensive assistance with visas and relocation, including temporary accommodation on arrival.

Package

The salary will be highly competitive, with a low tax-rate (c. 8%). Comprehensive benefits, bonus, and relocation package (flights + temporary accommodation on arrival + expenses allowance).

Requirements

The role is likely to suit someone in the range of 1-5 years’ PQE in high-quality corporate/ transactional work. You will ideally have experience in or a demonstrable interest in the fintech/crypto/digital assets sector. You must be qualified in the UK or BVI for work permit reasons.

Origin Legal International

Our team has 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.
