A spokesperson said, “With offices across Asia, Europe, South America and the Caribbean, Harneys has a high level of global expertise and cultural fit with clients, who benefit from round-the-clock service in including in the creation, administration and termination of trusts, international wills and estates, and in contentious trust matters.
“Through its offering in the key offshore jurisdictions of Bermuda, BVI, Cayman and Cyprus, Harneys is also able to advise on complex, multi-jurisdictional trust structures which typically comprise entities across several of these jurisdictions.”

“Harneys has also demonstrated marked growth across other practices and locations, including in funds, where it was recently named HFM Week’s Best Offshore Law Firm for Client Service.
