Global Restructuring Review Lists HSM in GRR 100 2020 Guide
Global Restructuring Review (GRR) has just released their GRR 100 2020 Guide and HSM has made its debut on this list. GRR 100 is an annual publication that features the world’s leading law firms for cross-border restructuring and insolvency matters.
HSM’s Restructuring and Insolvency practice is led by Partner Ian Lambert and has grown significantly over the last year, especially due to the demand in service caused by COVID-19. GRR notes that Ian “has chalked up many years’ experience in the Cayman Islands and Canada”. Ian was also recognised as a “Name to Know” in the Cayman Islands by GRR 2019.
HSM’s Senior Associate Adam Crane was referenced for his arrival to HSM in 2018 from Patterson Law and notes “Adam was named one of the 15 “rising stars” in the International Institute’s ninth annual NextGen leadership programme in June 2020.”
Sarah-Jane Allison (HSM Partner) and Shula Sbarro (Associate) were also highlighted as names to know.
HSM was one of five international firms that were newly added to this list. GRR states: “In its relatively short existence, HSM has played a role in some of the most high-profile matters playing out in the Cayman Islands, including the fraud trial of Saudi conglomerate Ahmad Hamad Al-Gosaibi & Brothers (AHAB) and the Singular is liquidation.”
This recognition testifies that HSM is a recommended firm for carrying out insolvency and restructuring work with an international dimension.
