The firm will still be known as Collas Crill in Guernsey, Jersey, Singapore and London but trade initially as Collas Crill & CARD in the Cayman Islands.

Collas Crill Managing Partner Advocate Jason Romer said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to join forces with CARD  (Charles Adams Ritchie & Duckworth) We have already been working closely with CARD over the last few months to help our clients achieve their goals. This will enable us to formalise what our clients already experience – a seamless service across the Collas Crill Group.”

CARD’s Antony Duckworth said: “We are delighted to be linking up with Collas Crill. This is great news for each individual firm, and gives the ‘new’ firm a true international footprint. Together we will be able to build on the first-class service we already offer clients giving access to new and exciting markets and will raise awareness of our services and our jurisdictions in international legal markets.”
