FS REGULATORY LAWYER (3 - 5 PQE) (CAYMAN ISLANDS) (US$165K - US$185K) (TAX-FREE)

A superb opportunity for a junior financial services regulatory lawyer at the 3 - 5 PQE level to move offshore and join the Cayman office of one of the most highly-regarded offshore firms, which boasts one of the largest FS Regulatory teams in the market. The role will involve cross-jurisdictional regulatory analysis for multi-national clients that are facing similar regulations in different jurisdictions. The individual must therefore be able and willing to work outside standard business hours to support multiple time zones and offer advice and support on an as-needed basis to the wider business.

Advising on both contentious and non-contentious regulatory matters for various industry sector clients, including investigations and enforcement actions, financial crime prevention, and sanctions-related issues. You will require a deep understanding of the financial services industry overall, including banking, insurance, securities investment business, fintech, and investment funds, with a good understanding of the global and onshore regulatory landscape.

The team advises on all aspects of Cayman Islands regulatory matters impacting asset managers, investment funds (both open and closed-ended), banks, administrators, family offices, and high net worth individuals, including FATCA, CRS, the Securities Investment Business Law, DAC6 / MDR, anti-money laundering and terrorist financing, Economic Substance, cross-border conduct of business advice, and the OECD Country-by-Country Reporting regime.

You will need to be admitted in either the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or a qualifying Caribbean jurisdiction and have gained your experience at a leading national, international or offshore law firm.
