History
Our story began in 1960, when Harold Harney established a legal practice in Road Town, Tortola. He was joined in 1967 by Neville Westwood and in 1974 by Michael Riegels. Over the past 60 years, Harneys has set the standard for legal services in the BVI and expanded to offer a full range of offshore legal services.

We are a full-service law firm spanning all major transactional, contentious and private client disciplines. Our lawyers often work alongside Harneys Fiduciary, our strategic alliance partner, which fully complements corporate, wealth, and fiduciary services.
News in focus
Harneys has expanded rapidly in recent years, bringing our unique brand of personable client service to new markets and delivering the highest quality counsel to clients in their languages and time zones. One of our core strengths as a firm has always been our agility: our ability to respond quickly and effectively to clients’ changing needs as economic and political landscapes shift.
