The firm said the Cayman Islands office would be led by an “experienced team” which will include its Cayman partners Jason Allison, Nick Bullmore and Jarrod Farley.
Meanwhile, the company’s BVI capabilities will be led by Guernsey-based partner Andrew Boyce who, prior to moving to Guernsey, practised in the BVI and is dual qualified in Guernsey and BVI law.
Carey Olsen managing partner Alex Ohlsson said: “We have encountered an increasing demand for the provision of Cayman Islands and BVI legal advice from our clients and intermediaries. This step has been taken to respond to that demand.
“Our strategic approach has been to identify lawyers of exceptional ability who can replicate the high service standards to which our clients have been accustomed in the jurisdictions from which we operate.”
