Commercial Litigation/Dispute Resolution/Insolvency Lawyers (x2) – Solicitor or Barrister - Major Offshore law firm – British Virgin Islands

This elite offshore law firm is seeking to add strength in depth to its BVI Litigation/Dispute Resolution practice through the addition of two Commercial Litigation lawyers. Joining a small but high-calibre team, you will enjoy front-line exposure to some fantastic work which is likely to span contentious insolvency, banking/financial services and commercial/contractual disputes.

The firm is open minded on levels but you are likely to be in the one to six years’ pqe range. You will be admitted in the UK (solicitor or barrister) with high-value commercial disputes experience gained from a top law firm or chambers. Higher rights will be useful but not essential for the right person.

If you’re looking for a complete sea change from city life, without compromising on your legal career, few locations can match the BVI. This beautiful, remote part of the Caribbean offers some of the world’s very best sailing and water sports, with pristine sandy beaches and a relaxed but lively social scene. In the office, you can expect to be working on huge international matters, often in collaboration with the elite onshore firms. Much of the work flows from Asia meaning a transfer to Hong Kong or Singapore is likely to be seamless, should you find yourself needing a fix of City life.
