Bedell Cristin will merge with Cayman Islands-based firm Solomon Harris.
Merging with Solomon Harris, a firm recognised for its legal expertise in a range of services including captive insurance, investment funds and capital markets, will allow Bedell Cristin to grow and strengthen its Cayman offering.
The deal is hoped to be completed by the end of August, with Solomon Harris rebranding as Bedell Cristin at a later date.
David Cadin, global managing partner at Bedell Cristin described the move as an exciting, strategic move that extends the firm’s global footprint.
Cadin explained: “Solomon Harris has developed a reputation over 20 years as a top quality legal practice in Cayman, and we are delighted to have agreed terms to join forces with them.”
Founding partner at Solomon Harris, Sophia Harris, commented: “This move is a natural development in the growth of our business as we expand our horizons into new markets.”
“Our common areas of focus, the strength of experience from Bedell Cristin and their presence in a range of leading jurisdictions, makes them an excellent fit, broadening the range of expertise available to our clients."
