About Euro Exim Bank
Euro Exim Bank Limited is a Class A International Banking Financial Institution, incorporated under the laws of Saint Lucia and regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) . Through our Representative Office in the United Kingdom, we facilitate international trade finance solutions—including Letters of Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and trade finance instruments—for corporate clients across multiple jurisdictions worldwide.
We operate at the intersection of global commerce and cross-border finance, enabling businesses to execute high-value international transactions with confidence. Our legal and compliance function is central to our mission, ensuring that every instrument we issue and every relationship we enter is structured with rigor, integrity, and full regulatory alignment.
We are seeking an experienced Corporate Lawyer with deep expertise in banking and financial services law to join our global legal team. This is a fully remote, high-autonomy role for a practitioner who thrives on complex, cross-jurisdictional legal work.
The Opportunity: Corporate Lawyer – International Banking

You will provide authoritative guidance on the structuring, documentation, and regulatory alignment of our international banking operations.
You will handle a diverse and sophisticated portfolio of legal matters, spanning corporate governance, contract negotiation, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and strategic transactions. You will also act as the Bank’s primary liaison with external legal counsel and regulatory bodies across multiple jurisdictions.
This role is ideal for a seasoned banking and finance lawyer who seeks the autonomy of remote, cross-border practice and the intellectual challenge of supporting a global financial institution.
