General Admission as an attorney of a solicitor, barrister or advocate from other jurisdictions
People who are not Caymanian or do not hold Caymanian status may be eligible for admission to practice law if they have qualified in The United Kingdom, Jamaica or other Commonwealth jurisdictions recognised as being equivalents, for example, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Admission in these circumstances requires the applicant to obtain an offer of employment from a law firm in the Cayman Islands, which must have also secured a work permit under Part V of the Immigration Law (2015 Revision). The applicant for admission must also have at least three years’ post-qualification experience at the time the application for the work permit is made. The Legal Practitioners Laws and Regulations govern all aspects of training and qualifying as an attorney-at-law. The admission process is governed under section 3(1) of the Legal Practitioners Law, where a Judge of the Grand Court is responsible for hearing applications from eligible candidates for admission to practice law. CILPA is not responsible for, and has no control over, the process of admitting persons to practice law in the Cayman Islands.
