Offshore Corporate & Finance Jobs

what to expect

CML has been placing lawyers for over 15 years and we have direct links with all the leading corporate lawyers in all major offshore financial centres. If you are looking to take your career offshore or make a strategic career move, our team can help.


Offshore jurisdictions, such as The Cayman Islands, make up the premier investment funds jurisdictions in the world as well as the leading financial centres for company incorporations. Offshore jurisdictions are investor-friendly, tax neutral, and full of highly competent professionals across legal, accounting, and corporate services. Accordingly, they are highly attractive jurisdictions for the structuring of international M&A, joint venture, and capital markets transactions.

Earning Potential

Higher, tax-free, or low-tax salaries in offshore jurisdictions make it an attractive prospect for those looking to improve their earning potential.

Career Potential

Offshore jurisdictions are highly attractive for the structuring of international M&A, joint venture, and capital markets transactions and there is much career potential in these practice areas.

Work-Life Balance

Life offshore is often more balanced, with shorter commutes and more balanced work hours than onshore. This topped with an island lifestyle makes for paradise found.

Quality of Work

If you are currently an onshore corporate or finance lawyer, then you will likely have interacted with or directly instructed offshore counsel so you should have an idea of the role that offshore transactional lawyers play. Typically, you will be acting as offshore counsel to the onshore lawyers (usually in the United States, Latin America, or Asia) who are advising their corporate clients on deals where the use of an offshore structure is mutually beneficial to all parties involved. In most cases you will not be ‘project managing’ the deal/matter, so you will find that your working hours are more predictable than they are onshore.

You will have onshore corporate or finance experience gained at a highly regarded onshore firm. The specifics of your experience aren’t hugely relevant as there will be a learning curve for all new lawyers to the jurisdiction. General corporate, private equity, banking, structured finance, and asset finance lawyers will all be attractive candidates to the leading offshore law firms.
