Harneys Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, and Cayman Islands received exceptional client praise in the most recent release from Legal 500 Caribbean. Described as “a tight team. They are quick to engage their fellow partners and associates to ensure that the right expertise is available for their clients. It is a pleasure to work with Harneys.” The firm maintained top-tier rankings across all practice groups, including Tier 1 for its BVI Banking, Finance and Capital Markets, Dispute Resolution, Investment Funds, Regulatory and Compliance teams, and its Private Wealth team in the Cayman Islands.

The firm’s BVI Dispute Resolution team was described as “effortlessly dominant in the market, with real strength in depth, and the ability to scale up on complex and heavy matters”, with partners being described as “exceptional, conscientious, responsive, and strategically excellent.” The Transactional and Private Wealth teams were described as “sharp, commercial, and responsive” with a “degree of knowledge and understanding of the jurisdiction which is unparalleled and an “exceptional commitment to client service”.

The firm’s Cayman team was compared to other firms with one testimonial stating, “I have dealt with other firms and lawyers in the Caribbean… but Nick Hoffman and Gráinne King stand out for their dedication to the client and out-of-the-box thinking.” Another commented that “the expertise and experience of the lawyers at Harneys are unparalleled. They have a deep understanding of the law and its practical applications, which allows them to provide insightful and effective advice.” The firm’s Transactional and Private Wealth teams received praise from clients who stated they were “extremely satisfied with the services provided” and described the team as having “an unwavering commitment to client success” and “the ability to deliver high quality legal solutions”.

With the recent takeover of Henry Tucker in the firm’s Bermuda office, it was also noted that “he is one of the top lawyers in Bermuda” and that Harneys Bermuda was “a welcome addition to the market [which] offers a very good alternative to the existing players. Their cross jurisdictional links with their other offices are seamless and impressive.”

BVI Managing Partner Tanya Cassie-Parker stated, “We are delighted with this continued recognition from Legal 500 and excited that our clients have showcased our hard work. I am proud of our team's dedicated efforts and commitment to providing exceptional service to our clients. Cayman Managing Partner Carolynn Vivian commented, “The talent and hard work that our team puts into every instruction is the foundation of our success, and we look forward to continuing to uphold a high standard of excellence in all that we do.” Bermuda Managing Partner Henry Tucker echoed their statements, stating, “It is exciting to see our teams being recognised for their hard work.”
