Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Claritas is a small firm with an impressive (and growing) reputation for big-ticket Cayman disputes. Its senior lawyers have come from the top-tier firms, and have the experience and the capability to act against the biggest firms on the Island on an even footing. It comes with the advantages of a small firm (eg a high degree of engagement in legal matters from the senior personnel who set up the firm, who are not distracted by internal management). Claritas is a fantastic alternative to the more established firms.’
‘Katie Pearson is a star - one of the very best, and most highly-regarded, litigators in Cayman. She is a strong advocate with great depth of knowledge about offshore litigation.'
