Our employment and pension lawyers represent businesses across a broad range of industry sectors.
Our clients include financial institutions, commercial businesses, actuaries, pension consultants and trustees who come to us either on an ad hoc basis or who retain our services for ongoing advice.
We work with clients in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey as well as being instructed by international law firms, accountancy practices and tax advisers.
We have the scale and expertise to resource heavyweight contentious employment disputes and tribunal matters and we can also support you and your business in non-contentious areas of work. We are well-versed in relation to large takeovers and business amalgamations and, as a full service firm, can provide support wherever you need it. This includes calling upon our established trusts and investment funds practices for their expertise on pensions matters.
Our lawyers are at the forefront of changes affecting the sector and work closely with clients and industry bodies on developments to the statutory and regulatory frameworks.

Carey Olsen People Behaviour and Governance podcast series: episode three
The Carey Olsen People, Behaviour and Governance podcast series is a series of podcasts lead by partner Huw Thomas. We speak to subject matter experts from across the firm and other companies to discuss topics relating to people, behaviour and governance in an offshore context.
The third episode in the series looks at challenge. Huw is joined by Sian Dalrymple, group chief risk officer at Crestbridge, and Jason Laity from 80Twenty consultancy to discuss:
-
The importance of challenge in a people and governance context particularly at board level; and
-
The broader role challenge plays in managing behavioural risk
With a particular focus on directors and non-executive directors, Huw, Sian and Jason will discuss how to improve and manage challenge in organisations, including the importance of ensuring that challenge plays a part in decision-making and the part that coaching plays in enabling board members to create a safe and positive challenge culture.
