Working alongside onshore counsel Allen & Overy, the cross-jurisdictional Carey Olsen team was led in Bermuda by partner Mary Ward, assisted by associate Michelle Falcucci and in Jersey by partner Simon Marks, assisted by senior associate Ashley Morrison.
Ms Ward said: “Working together with our colleagues in Carey Olsen’s Jersey office, we were delighted to assist Hiscox and Allen & Overy with this important transaction which, once again, underlines the attractiveness of using cash box placings to access alternative sources of funding on an expedited basis.”
