Harneys has announced the promotion of four lawyers globally, who have become partners in the firm as of 1 January 2015, lifting the total number of partners to 35.

In the Cayman office, head of the firm’s Cayman and British Virgin Islands (BVI) trusts practice Henry Mander is one of the quartet, alongside Patrick Colegrave in London, Aki Corsoni-Husain in Cyprus and James Noble in Hong Kong.

An experienced trust practitioner, Henry joined Harneys in the BVI in January 2011, before relocating to the Cayman Islands later that year. A University of Oxford graduate, Henry has a broad range of trust and estate planning experience, including the creation, administration and termination of complex international trusts and succession planning for high net worth individuals and families.

Henry has particular expertise in the use of STAR trusts and Vista trusts for clients in emerging markets in Latin America and Asia, however the majority of Henry’s practice involves working with clients’ onshore advisors.

Marco Martins, Managing Partner, Harneys Cayman said he was thrilled to have Henry join the partnership.

“It is a testament to his hard work, talent and expertise,” he said. “This is an exciting year for Harneys in terms of growth particularly in our fiduciary and litigation practices.”

Henry was also recently recommended by Legal 500, where he was described as “particularly knowledgeable and very responsive.”
