About Our Client
A well-established offshore law firm with offices across major offshore jurisdictions, London, and Singapore. Known for commercial, pragmatic advice and a collaborative, client-focused culture, with a strong reputation in International Private Client (IPC), corporate, and finance work.
About the Role
The firm is seeking a Paralegal to support partners and associates in its Cayman Islands IPC team.

Conduct research and produce clear notes with sources and conclusions
Draft routine documents from precedents, escalating complex issues

Prepare execution packs and coordinate signing logistics
Matter & Practice Support
Maintain organised, system-based filing

Coordinate billing — narratives, time entries, draft bills, WIP monitoring, approvals, and liaison with finance
Maintain billing discipline and visibility on matter status
CRM, Marketing & BD
Keep CRM updated with contacts and interaction notes
Support BD activities, including events, travel, and logistics
Assist with various projects to keep the practice running smoothly
Qualifications & Experience
High school or degree level education
Paralegal qualification a plus, not required
Prior experience in a legal environment preferred
Strong IT/document management skills
Excellent communication skills
Willingness to learn Cayman Islands law
Core Competencies
Strong organisation, time management, and prioritisation
Detail-oriented, disciplined, and methodical
Able to use initiative and work independently
Flexible, energetic, and enthusiastic
Committed to CPD and ongoing development

Why This Role Stands Out
Join a respected offshore firm with a strong global footprint
Varied role offering full exposure to the client matter lifecycle
Direct work with partners/associates on high-value IPC matters
Collaborative culture focused on quality and long-term relationships
Genuine career development with strong CPD support
