Press release from Carey Olsen, Friday 6 December, 2024.
Carey Olsen’s FinTech practice has achieved two Band 1 practice area rankings and three Band 1 individual rankings in the Chambers FinTech 2025 guide, in addition to three new individual rankings.
The firm’s Bermuda and Jersey FinTech practices have retained their Band 1 position, as have partners Steven Rees Davies (Bermuda), Chris Duncan (Cayman Islands) and Christopher Griffin (Jersey).
Steven Rees Davies is praised in the guide as being “able to understand FinTech regulatory detail beyond the words that are written and from the client’s perspective”. Bermuda counsel Charissa Ball this year features in the ‘Up and Coming’ category, with senior associate Alexandra Fox named for the first time as an ‘Associate to Watch’ in Bermuda alongside counsel Katrina Lindsay in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).
Chris Duncan, who leads the firm’s FinTech and Digital Assets group across the Cayman Islands and the BVI, has a “deep breadth of knowledge” which “translates into the quality of his legal advice” and is described by a client as “my go-to attorney in the Cayman Islands on digital assets-related matters”.
Christopher Griffin spearheads Carey Olsen’s FinTech practice in Jersey and is recognised in client feedback as “an excellent lawyer with a razor-sharp ability to cut through the noise and deliver solutions”.
Carey Olsen remains one of only three offshore firms to operate a FinTech practice in Bermuda, BVI, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey.
