Nikki Wood

I am a Senior Associate in the Finance, Corporate and Funds team, based in the Cayman Islands, advising clients on Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands financial services and regulatory matters. Specifically, I advise on sanctions, anti-money laundering, international tax reporting, licensing, inspections, beneficial ownership, data protection, information requests, policies and procedures, corporate governance and enforcement.

I have over 20 years’ experience across the legal and financial services sectors, with several years spent in industry. Prior to joining the firm, I was a partner at a Cayman Islands law firm and a Senior Manager and Material Risk Taker with individual accountability at Barclays Bank PLC in the UK.

My experience includes establishing and leading legal, risk and compliance functions, providing me with a practical understanding of the regulatory and commercial considerations facing financial institutions and businesses. I bring a commercially pragmatic approach to legal advice, focusing on practical, solutions-oriented advice that supports clients in navigating complex regulatory and financial services matters.
