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.  Recently, she has acted in several substantial fraud claims involving private equity funds established as exempted limited partnerships, which have resulted in numerous important judgments for the jurisdiction, and in respect of disputes concerning crypto and fintech assets.  She also has considerable experience obtaining all forms of interim relief including freezing orders, Norwich Pharmacal orders and the appointment of equitable receivers.

Jennifer is part of Ogier's multi-disciplinary Restructuring and Insolvency team.  She is experienced in corporate restructuring, distressed investment funds, and formal insolvency procedures.  She has acted for the Brazilian Constellation Group on the Cayman Islands aspects of a wider cross border multi-jurisdictional restructuring involving a judicially supervised restructuring in Brazil, a Scheme of Arrangement in the BVI and Chapter 15 proceedings in New York in respect of the Cayman Islands aspects of its US$1.3 billion in private debtor in possession financing of LATAM Airlines to support its Chapter 11 process.
