Jennifer is the head of Ogier’s Dispute Resolution team in the Cayman Islands. She has substantial experience of all contentious issues coming before the Cayman Islands courts. Her practice spans all aspects of complex commercial litigation, fraud and asset tracing including crypto disputes, contentious insolvency and restructuring, and contentious private client work.
Jennifer regularly appears in the Financial Services Division of the Grand Court. She acts for all participants in the Cayman Islands financial services market including insolvency and other office holders; investment managers and directors of Cayman vehicles; creditors, shareholders and limited partners; and all other parties to large scale commercial; fraud, and insolvency litigation.
Jennifer’s fraud and asset tracing work is extensive.

Cayman Islands > Dispute resolution
(Next Generation Partners)The sizeable dispute resolution offering at Ogier is a particularly strong choice for restructuring and insolvency, fraud and asset recovery, and s.238 shareholder appraisal disputes. A trio of lawyers share leadership responsibilities of the group: Marc Kish, the firm’s global head of dispute resolution who is well versed in international insolvency, restructuring and financial services disputes, large-scale fraud cases, and asset tracing claims; Jennifer Fox, who draws on two decades of experience, including 15 years on the ground in the Cayman Islands; and Rachael Reynolds KC, a standout in contentious trust matters. Deborah Barker Roye was promoted to the partnership in 2024 and specialises in contentious trusts and estate matters, and Christopher Levers is a further name to note in restructuring, insolvency, and general commercial litigation. Gemma Bellfield is also a young partner with a strong contentious restructuring and insolvency practice, and at managing associate level Farrah Sbaiti stands out.
Cayman Islands > Regulatory and compliance
Seen by one client as ‘refreshing in the industry‘, the regulatory and compliance offering at Ogier sees a sizeable group of dedicated experts on Grand Cayman assisting with core cases in the practice area, as well as aspects of complex cases, collaborating with the investment funds, banking, corporate, virtual assets and dispute resolution practices. The department is sub-divided into more specific aspects of regulatory law with corresponding group heads. Joanne Huckle serves as the chair of the broad regulatory team and is well recognised as one of the key names in the field on the island. For corporate regulatory, Martin Byers, who comes with client acclaim for being ‘fantastic to work with’, is the key figure. Banking regulatory is led by James Heinicke, while Jennifer Fox oversees contentious work in the area. Cline Glidden leads the local client regulatory sub-group, and at more junior level Megan Mcluskie stands out in the private wealth regulatory space.
