Job Description:

This leading offshore law firm is looking for an accomplished Trust and Private Client lawyer to join its growing Private Wealth team in the Cayman Islands. This is an outstanding career opportunity that also promises significant financial and lifestyle benefits for the successful applicant.

You will be advising an international client base of UHNW individuals, family offices and other associated financial institutions, on all aspects of non-contentious and semi-contentious trust, wealth management and private client work.

It is complex, technically challenging and high-value work for sophisticated clients, making this the perfect move for an ambitious lawyer who wishes to fast-track their development in what is a world-class jurisdiction for the private wealth sector. Opportunities for progression, whether in Cayman or internationally, are excellent.

Requirements

• Overseas qualified lawyers must be admitted (Barrister or Solicitor) in the UK or an equivalent Commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia, New Zealand or Canada).
• Likely to suit someone with 3-5 years’ PQE (minimum 3 years’ PQE required for work permit).
• Experience advising (U)HNW clients on complex trust, private client and wealth management matters. This is a client facing role so you will also need to be a confident communicator who will relish the opportunity to contribute to business development.
• Some experience of contentious trust and estate work would be beneficial but is not essential.

Package

• Highly attractive tax-free salary (negotiable depending on experience).
• 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.

The Cayman Islands

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.
