RARE PARTNER LEVEL OPPORTUNITY | LEADING OFFSHORE LAW FIRM | BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS A market-leading offshore firm is seeking a Corporate Partner to add further strength to their well-established British Virgin Islands team. This is an exceptional opportunity to play a key role in the ongoing development of the corporate practice and the growth of the wider office. It may suit an experienced offshore lawyer seeking an excellent platform on which to build the next stage of their career, or a successful onshore lawyer with a track record of excellence in an international firm. In either case, you will need to be able to demonstrate a strong market profile and an aptitude for client management and business development. Taking a lead on client and matter management, you will be exposed to a wide range of work spanning banking and finance, capital markets, M&A, FinTech/digital assets, investment funds/regulatory, private equity, and venture capital. You will likely have substantial experience in some of these areas and a willingness to build expertise in the others. In keeping with the seniority of this role, you will play an integral role in the management of the team, and, in collaboration with the Managing Partner and the Group Head, will be expected to play a key role in generating new business. For the right person, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a top-tier firm at this level of seniority. It will come with a very strong base salary, a good bonus, benefits and a comprehensive relocation package (if required). Requirements • Admitted in the BVI or England & Wales, Scotland or Ireland., • Currently based in or willing to relocate to BVI., • Strong track record in a prominent onshore or offshore law firm with expertise in banking and finance, capital markets, corporate (M&A/PE/VC), funds/regulatory, and/or digital assets/emerging technologies., • Open to considering current Partners or Senior Counsel ready to step up., • Strong leadership, management, interpersonal, and communication skills. 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 though. 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 Asia, is some of the most interesting and challenging in the sector. Package Very strong USD base salary, a good bonus, benefits and a comprehensive relocation package (if required). BVI has a low tax rate and a reasonable cost of living.
