GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, 8 March 2020 – Higgs & Johnson continues to receive praise from well-regarded international legal directories on its level of service, especially in the area of real estate. This praise is based on feedback from clients with whom the international ranking directories independently liaise as part of their research. Country Managing Partner, Gina Berry, who spearheads the real estate department in the Cayman Islands is quick to indicate that “the strength of the department rests in team work and an all-round commitment to excellence, recognising that clients have choices”. Berry went on to comment that the team recognizes that “clients deserve and expect the highest level of professional and reliable legal service in a timely manner”.

While the Firm’s lawyers are usually the ones singled out for praise, Berry feels that it is important to share the spotlight with two of the women in the real estate team who play a supporting role and make this success possible.

Cool, calm and collected are some of the adjectives used to describe Delia Bunce, who has assisted Berry for the last 13 years. Bunce, originally from South Africa, has many years of paralegal experience in South Africa and the United Kingdom, prior to losing her heart to the Cayman Islands, which she has called home for the last 15 years. Bunce’s attention to detail, commitment to client satisfaction and sunny personality are just a few of the attributes that cause clients not only to come back, but to refer their friends and family to the Firm. When Bunce is not working, she especially enjoys outdoor activities with her two daughters and her husband.

Veronica Fierro is another powerhouse who brings to the table her strong work ethic, multi-lingual capabilities, quick wit and background in the maritime industry. Fierro, originally from Chile but who spent much of her earlier life in Norway, has called the Cayman Islands home for the last 28 years. Fierro’s strong work ethic makes her a perfect fit for this exceptionally busy department. When Fierro is not in the office, she can be found in her garden, or with her grandson, or perhaps diving in Cayman’s crystal, clear waters.

Berry noted that Higgs & Johnson celebrates women’s day every day, as it provides opportunities for strong women to take leadership positions and succeed. In relation to the real estate department, Berry says it is only right that her success be shared with these phenomenal women who work tirelessly by her side, as she believes that true strength comes from showing gratitude and raising other women up.
