Cayman Islands (17 June 2026) We are thrilled to announce that Partner Robert Farrell has been awarded the Banking & Finance Expert of the Year in the Cayman Islands 2026 by The Lawyer Network Annual Awards, an event marking excellence for the world’s leading lawyers across the globe. One client noted: “Robert Farrell is a brilliant professional whose dedication is at such a high level it feels as though he is part of our internal team.”
