'Tactically astute, a tough and effective negotiator when it matters, and all round someone I would very strongly recommend'
I am the Head of the Litigation and Insolvency department in our Cayman Islands office. I have more than 26 years' experience as a civil and commercial litigator and was appointed Queen's Counsel in February 2017.
Recognised as a trusted adviser and first port of call for clients and intermediaries, I regularly appear as an Advocate before the Cayman Islands Grand Court and Court of Appeal.
My work focuses on advising and representing trustees, settlors and beneficiaries in complex cross-border trust and estate disputes. It also covers regulatory investigations, fraud and asset tracing, receiverships, contentious property disputes and intellectual property.
I speak regularly at trust conferences and seminars, and have written articles for Solicitors Journal, New Law Journal and PLC Magazine.
