Carey Olsen up for Offshore Firm of the Year

Monday 29 July 2019

Carey Olsen is one of just three firms to be shortlisted for Offshore Firm of the Year at the Chambers High Net Worth Awards.

Finalists were selected by the legal directory's specialist research team following the recent publication of the 2019 Chambers and Partners High Net Worth guide.

In the edition, Carey Olsen secured a series of top rankings including two Band 1 practitioner statuses for Partners Russel Clark in Guernsey and Keith Robinson in Bermuda.

Mr Clark is Managing Partner and Head of the Trusts and Private Wealth Group in the island and was the only lawyer in Guernsey to attain the ranking. Meanwhile Mr Robinson is Head of Carey Olsen's Bermuda Trusts and Private Wealth Practice and was one of only two lawyers in the area to be ranked in Band 1.

Carey Olsen was the only law firm to achieve Band 1 status in Guernsey, while the firm's Jersey office attained Band 2 status.

The firms growing trusts and private wealth practices in Bermuda (Band 2) and the Cayman Islands (Band 3) were also ranked for the first time.

In total, nine lawyers from across Carey Olsen's network of international offices gained recognition in the 2019 edition of Chambers High Net Worth, including Russel Clark (Band 1), Konrad Friedlaender (Band 2) and Patricia Montgomery (Up and Coming) from Guernsey.

The awards ceremony will take place at the Underglobe in London on Thursday 3 October.
