‘Conyers' team is exceptional on fund formation matters. When it comes to LatAm coverage they are the 'go to' firm. We referred them a number of clients and all of them, with no exception, have been extremely satisfied with quality, client care and efficiency. Nick Pattman has built a solid practice and a very resourceful team.’
‘Nicholas Pattman is our key contact at Conyers. Nick is phenomenal and, in my modest opinion, the best attorney in the Cayman Islands market. He is highly creative, great at understanding complex situations and combines his solid expertise and track record to deliver sophisticated solutions to clients. He is one of the best out there in all aspects of fund formation and transactional work across the alternatives' industry. A great reference.’
‘Conyers is very responsive and willing to help. Theo Lefkos is particularly helpful.’
‘They are willing to step out of a wedding (not theirs) and help you with an urgent matter.'
