Spear’s Review

Bernadette Carey’s standing as an experienced litigator provides a welcome safety net for clients, who know that she can advise on any related contentious issues.

Her firm, Carey Olsen, has been involved in some of the most significant Cayman Islands cases in recent memory. ‘Being involved in litigation helps make us better structuring lawyers,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘We've seen what goes wrong; we know how to fix it.’

As head of the Cayman Islands trust and private wealth team, her practice also covers traditional aspects of private client matters, from setting up and administering trust structures to wealth and estate planning, as well as probate and testamentary issues. ‘We offer that full-service package; we stay with the family from start to finish,’ Carey says.
