Harneys continues to strengthen its long-standing reputation as a market leader in the private wealth field with its recent rankings in the Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide 2020. The firm is once again the only firm recognised as Band 1 for offshore trusts in the British Virgin Islands, whilst also remaining Band 2 in the Cayman Islands rankings.

We are pleased to announce that Nick Hoffman has been appointed managing partner of our Cayman Islands office, effective 1 July 2020. Marco Martins is stepping down on the same date after eight successful years as managing partner.

Harneys has been recommended for its British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Anguilla expertise in the Chambers Global 2020 guide.

Harneys has won three Deal of the Year Awards from China Business Law Journal for its work on New Frontier Corporation’s acquisition of United Family Healthcare, SenseTime Group Inc.’s Series C Prime financing, and Fosun Tourism Group’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Harneys named two new partners in our BVI office, a new head of Litigation Asia and promoted 14 counsel and senior associate positions across our BVI, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Hong Kong and London locations.

For the second consecutive year, Harneys has been ranked in Latinvex’s Top Law Firms 2020, with specific recognition and ranking in the categories of Capital Markets, Banking & Finance and Arbitration.
