The Legal 500

Tim, whose practice spans BVI and Cayman corporate, finance, trust, investment funds and listing work, has been based in Hong Kong for several years and was previously a partner and head of the Asia Cayman Islands practice of Ogier. He also spent 7 years working with Walkers in the Cayman Islands.

 

Managing Partner of the Hong Kong office Jonathan Culshaw commented: “Tim is a highly experienced and capable practitioner who strengthens our global Cayman Islands law offering having worked in the jurisdiction for 7 years. He comes to us with a proven track record of building offshore business in Asia by meeting or exceeding client expectations.”

 

He added: “Onshore lawyers and other clients based in Asia work to very demanding timeframes. A Hong Kong office weighted towards capable senior lawyers like Tim who can provide swift, commercial and accurate advice is essential."

 

Tim commented. "Harneys already has a large footprint in Asia due to its market leading position in the British Virgin Islands, the offshore domicile of choice for many in this region.  This position provides an excellent platform from which to grow the firm's market share in the offshore space. I am looking forward to assisting that growth and raising the profile of Harneys as a leading offshore firm in Asia."

 

Tim’s recruitment is only the latest for Harneys which is focussed on increasing the prominence of its Cayman practice in Asia and elsewhere in the world.
