Offshore law firm Carey Olsen has earned top rankings for its FinTech team in three jurisdictions.
Carey Olsen has earned Band 1 rankings in Jersey, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands in the newly released Chambers FinTech 2026 guide.
In Jersey, the firm’s FinTech practice and partner Chris Griffin both maintained their longstanding Band 1 rankings. Known as one of the jurisdiction’s preeminent FinTech specialists, Mr Griffin is recognised as “the leading go-to expert in the digital assets and FinTech space”.
In Bermuda, Band 1 partner Steven Rees Davies was praised as “a standout figure in the industry”, with clients commenting that “Carey Olsen’s ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters is truly exceptional”. Counsel Charissa Ball was also recognised as ‘Up and Coming’, maintaining her ranking for a second consecutive year.
Carey Olsen’s Cayman Islands-based FinTech practice has been promoted to Band 1 with Chris Duncan, partner and head of the firm’s FinTech and Digital Assets group in the Cayman Islands and BVI, maintaining his Band 1 ranking. Clients noted that Mr Duncan is “one of the foremost experts in the field”, and that he “stands out as being top of class in providing advice and counsel to clients”.
Carey Olsen has also maintained its ranking in the British Virgin Islands, with Chris Duncan earning a new ranking and counsel Katrina Lindsay earning a promoted ranking.
The firm remains one of only three offshore law firms to operate a FinTech practice in Bermuda, BVI, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey.
