Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The investment funds practice is excellent. This practice group has consistently delivered high level work on time and within budget. Given that they have offices in several jurisdictions, Carey Olsen has the capability to provide a range of solutions, which is very helpful. We've felt that the practice group effectively uses existing technology to provide quality work remotely.’

  • ‘Alistair Russell is our partner at Carey Olsen. He is exceptionally bright, energetic, proactive and practical, all of which are qualities we value as a firm/client. We've also dealt with him on the transactional side (e.g., capital raising), and we were equally impressed with his work product.’

  • ‘Jarrod Farley is very professional and responsive. Pleasure to deal with.’

  • ‘In my experience working with several Cayman based firms, the Carey Olsen investment funds team is the most knowledgeable, efficient and responsive team.'

  • ‘I want to give a particular shout out to Emily Cornhill, based in Cayman. She assisted our firm with our most recent fund launch project and went the extra mile to make sure we completed fund documents and obtained CIMA approval within a very tight deadline. I strongly recommend Emily to anyone looking to set up or manage a Cayman fund.’
