Mr. Hylton returned to Jamaica in 2002 after serving for seven (7) years in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as a partner of that country's second largest law firm, O’Neal, Webster, O’Neal, Myers, Fletcher & Gordon, where he headed the Trust and Mutual Fund departments.

At the request of the Government of the British Virgin Islands he has conducted all day training seminars for public and private sector workers in the offshore industry. He is a Notary Public for life of the BVI.

Lance has also been extremely active in civic and community organisations and served, before going to the BVI, as a member of the Board of Governors of the Jamaica College and was a member of its Disciplinary Committee. Since returning to Jamaica he has been re-appointed to that Board. In the British Virgin Islands, he served as a member of the Rotary Club of Road Town and held several executive positions including President for the year 2000\2001. His outstanding service to the club and the BVI community caused him to be named Rotarian of the Year in 2001 and he was honoured by the club with its Paul Harris Fellow Award, in 2002. Since returning to Jamaica he has become a member of the Rotary Club of St. Andrew.
