Nigel is counsel in the dispute resolution and litigation team in Carey Olsen's Cayman Island office. Nigel has a range of experience in all general litigation matters, primarily in the financial services sector. He acts in general commercial matters, including inter-party disputes and disputes between shareholders and directors of a company, and routinely acts in insolvency matters for liquidators, receivers, creditors and other interested parties.  Almost all of his work involves the resolution of cross-jurisdictional issues.  He has extensive experience in valuation matters in particular, including acting in a number of proceedings to determine the fair value of shares in multi-billion dollar companies, following shareholders dissenting in take-private transactions for those companies.

Additionally, Nigel regularly advises on contentious and non-contentious employment matters.

Nigel obtained an LLB(Hons), along with a BA majoring in Spanish and Political Science at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
