In terms of overall standing, Carey Olsen is now the third largest offshore law firm following a 10% increase in the number of qualified lawyers over the past year, making a total complement of 188.
The Lawyer is the legal industry’s leading magazine and it features special reports and in-depth features on regional and overseas issues, practice area news and business analysis.
2015 was a significant year for Carey Olsen; it launched its BVI dispute resolution and litigation practice under the leadership of highly-regarded BVI practitioner Ben Mays, it opened its Singapore office led by top corporate and ex-Allen & Overy partner Linda Lee and greatly expanded its BVI and Cayman offices.
Carey Olsen chairman John Kelleher said: “2015 was another year of strong growth for us with a number major milestones being reached. The Lawyer ranking re-affirms our pole position in the Channel Islands while reinforcing our prominent standing in the offshore legal market.”
