The law firm, which already has offices in Guernsey, Jersey and London, has put in place lead partners Jason Allison, Nick Bullmore, Jarrod Farley and Anthony McKenzie to develop the Cayman Island practice.
Alex Ohlsson, managing partner in Jersey, said: “The new office represents a key step forward in the extension of Carey Olsen’s legal services to our clients. I am confident that our new partners and wider team members will build a solid platform on which to grow Carey Olsen’s presence.”
Carey Olson announced in June this year its intention to establish a Cayman Islands office when managing partner Alex Ohlsson said the firm had encountered an increasing demand for the provision of Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands legal advice from its clients.
