Corporate Associate (2+ PQE) | British Virgin Islands

A leading offshore law firm is looking to strengthen its corporate team in the British Virgin Islands through the appointment of a junior to mid-level associate. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to work on a broad range of cross-border corporate and finance matters within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment that places high value on individual contribution and team development.

The successful applicant will advise international clients on a variety of transactional and advisory matters, including shareholder arrangements, director duties, regulatory compliance, investment structures, and corporate governance. The work is frequently multi-jurisdictional, requiring a high level of technical competence and commercial awareness.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing accurate and commercially sound legal advice to a diverse international client base
• Managing transactions efficiently from initial instruction through to completion
• Supporting junior lawyers and contributing to the development of team knowledge and capability
• Participating in the preparation of fee proposals and matter budgeting
• Engaging in business development activities and wider firm initiatives

Suitable applicants should be qualified in the BVI or England & Wales with 2–3 years’ post-qualification experience in corporate and/or banking and finance law, ideally gained at a recognised international or top-tier domestic firm. Experience with digital asset structures or fintech clients would be advantageous, but is not essential.

This role will appeal to ambitious lawyers looking to develop their career in a jurisdiction that offers high-quality international work, strong learning potential, and an excellent quality of life with an attractive tax-efficient package.
