Why Work Offshore?

There are many reasons why you may want to work offshore.

• A change of lifestyle
• The challenge of different work
• A new and exciting working environment
• Smaller and friendlier offices
• High salaries
• Low and sometimes zero income tax
• Low crime environment
• Sunny, tropical weather!

What sort of work will I do?

The legal systems of the offshore islands are closely based on the British common law system. Lawyers who have worked in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada will have no difficulty in adapting to an offshore jurisdiction. Opportunities in these jurisdictions focus on:

• Banking and finance
• Corporate/commercial (including funds)
• Commercial litigation
• Insolvency
• Trusts
• Commercial property

Lawyers in an offshore jurisdiction tend to handle a large number of transactions at any one time.This provides you with more direct responsibility and broader experience than merely being immersed in one large deal. Firms tend to be instructed in relation to jurisdiction specific parts of international transactions.
