MourantAdmired for its 'excellent understanding of their area of expertise', the regulatory and compliance law team at Mourant is a robust choice for the range of financial regulation matters, assisting investment funds and fund managers, fund administrators and banking businesses both within and outside the Cayman Islands. Two lawyers jointly coordinate the practice: the 'pragmatic and supportive' Sara Galletly, who is widely well regarded in the market, particularly for regulatory developments impacting fund, finance and corporate structures and regulated entities; and Catherine Pham, an investment funds specialist and leader of the wider corporate law practice. Litigation partner Hector Robinson KC is a contact to note in the contentious matters in this area, while Alastair Lagrange is the more junior lawyer to note.
