Lawyer Rankings
Cayman Islands > Trusts/private client
(Rising stars)Carey Olsen’s team is equipped to advise a varied client base including high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients on trust structuring and restructuring issues, wealth management arrangements, contentious trusts matters and court applications. Praised as a ‘shining light within the industry’, Bernadette Carey leads the practice and routinely advises on both non-contentious and contentious matters, including cross-border, multi-party litigation and high-profile trust disputes before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. On the non-contentious side, Cayman and BVI-qualified Graham Stoute is noted for his knowledge of STAR and VISTA trusts, private trust companies, commercial trust arrangements and charitable trusts; and with expertise in advising founders in the fintech and crypto space using trusts and foundation companies on digital assets, Chris Duncan is also highly recommended.
