Fraser Allister, Michael Sharvin and Tom Wright have joined the Bedell Cristin partnership in the Cayman Islands, as the firm continues to grow its private client, real estate and dispute resolution practices.
Allister and Sharvin joined the firm in 2021 and 2020 respectively and joined the partnership in the firm’s annual promotions earlier this year. Wright has re-joined the firm as a partner after spending eight years at Bedell Cristin between 2012 and 2020.
Bedell Cristin Global Managing Partner Tim Pearce said all three have had a big impact on their practice areas.
Allister advises clients on Cayman Islands and BVI law, and works with onshore firms, trust companies, family offices, and HNW and UHNW individuals and families on private wealth structures.
Sharvin advises clients on a range of transactional, financing and advisory matters relating to commercial, leisure and residential property in the Cayman Islands.
And Wright advises clients in Cayman, London, the US and Latin America on commercial litigation and contentious restructuring and insolvency matters.
“On behalf of all of the partners, I am delighted to welcome Fraser, Michael and Tom to the Bedell Cristin partnership. They are outstanding lawyers with strong reputations in their markets,” Pearce said. “All three are widely respected and have been contributors to our success over the past few years – their progress to the partnership is thoroughly-deserved.”
The announcement means the partnership in the Cayman Islands is the largest that it has been since Bedell Cristin entered the market through a merger with Solomon Harris in 2018.
Bedell’s annual promotions also saw Jonathan Stroud promoted to managing associate in the firm’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution team. Shroud has been in private practice since 2015 and has been working in the Cayman Islands since 2022, with a focus on the Cayman Islands insolvency and restructuring market.
