Harneys' BVI-based regulatory practice continues to secure a leading role in advising both regulated and non-regulated entities on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing compliance, financial services regulations, sanctions, data protection work and economic substance issues. The global regulatory and tax team is headed up by Philip Graham, whose focus is on trust company and insurance regulation, and BVI enforcement actions. Joshua Mangeot is noted for advising on BVI economic substance requirements, especially in the banking and technology sectors, while counsel Ayana Hull specialises in licensing, continuing obligations and regulatory and enforcement actions, and leads the BVI regulatory practice. Senior associate Kimberly Seagojo is also highly recommended.
