“He is described by commentators as ‘a star – the best trusts litigator on the island’ and top of everyone’s list. A London private client lawyer added that Keith is ‘probably one of the best if not the best trust lawyer in Bermuda at the moment’.
“Managing partner Michael Hanson is recognised for his handling of cross jurisdictional disputes, with a recognised specialism in employment matters. Michael is praised by one client for his ‘understanding of how business works, which helps mitigate risk and assists our business in achieving its objectives’.
“Mary Ward, partner and head of the firm’s corporate practice, is praised for her ‘technical abilities’ and ‘strong client relationships’ and as someone who ‘maintains a solid reputation for corporate matters in the insurance sector’.
“Counsel Gavin Woods and Henry Tucker are also featured. Sources noted Gavin’s ‘rising profile and growing reputation’ andpraised him for his expertise in insurance-linked securities and the licensing of new insurance entities, while Henry was praised for being ‘client-centric in every aspect of his legal practice.”
Michael Hanson said: “These rankings reflect the calibre and strength of our team and how our focus on providing exceptional legal services has already placed Carey Olsen Bermuda as a leading player at the high end of the market on the island.”
