Carey Olsen promotes trusts and private wealth lawyer Laura Kearns to partner in Bermuda

Laura's practice covers all aspects of trust law, including trust establishment and administration, restructurings and variations, and related regulatory matters. She advises both trustees and beneficiaries on non-contentious restructurings and blessing applications before the Bermuda Court. She also carries out a broad range of estate planning work including Will drafting, estate administration, and deals with matters of incapacity. 

Laura joined Carey Olsen in 2022, having qualified as a solicitor of England and Wales in 2015. She practiced in both a leading private client firm in London as well as a regional firm in the South West before moving to Bermuda. She is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

Bermuda partner and global head of Carey Olsen's trusts and private wealth practice, Keith Robinson, commented: "Since joining Carey Olsen, Laura has made an outstanding contribution to our Bermuda trusts and private wealth practice. She is known for her collaborative approach, excellent client service, and for being a pleasure to work with. Her promotion is a well-deserved reflection of her talent, knowledge and the value she brings to both the firm and to our clients. We are delighted to welcome Laura to the partnership."

Laura added: "I am very proud to be joining the Carey Olsen partnership. Working with my colleagues both in Bermuda and across the wider firm over the last four years has been extremely rewarding and I look forward to continuing to build my practice, supporting our exceptional clients and contributing to the growth of the trusts and private wealth practice in Bermuda."
