- ‘I am a great admirer of Carey Olsen's team in the Cayman Islands. Lead by the wonderful Bernadette Carey, they are involved in most if not all of the significant private client litigation in Cayman. They are meticulous in preparation, collaborative to deal with and seek to resolve issues rather than to escalate them while fully able to fight their client's corner when appropriate. I rate the team very highly and would not hesitate to recommend it to a potential client with a significant trust or related issue.’
