HSM Announces Promotion of Alastair David to Partner
HSM is pleased to announce the promotion of Alastair David to Partner at HSM Chambers, effective 13 September 2024.
Alastair has specialised in immigration and employment law in the Cayman Islands since he joined HSM in 2016. Alastair advises on all aspects of those laws with a specific focus on contentious matters. Alastair has represented clients before the Labour Tribunal and Labour Appeals Tribunal with respect to employment issues and has represented clients before the Summary Court, Grand Court and Court of Appeal with respect to immigration matters in the Cayman Islands. Prior to joining HSM, Alastair practiced as a Barrister in the UK for 10 years.
Throughout Alastair’s career, he has been passionate about Human Rights, advocating for fair treatment and justice for individuals navigating complex legal issues. His dedication has been a driving force behind notable cases, which include a domestic violence victim challenging Cayman’s immigration law and another case where the Court of Appeal declared that Cayman’s Immigration Act is incompatible with section 9 of the Bill of Rights, which deals with the right to a family and private life.
HSM Managing Partner, Huw Moses, OBE shares: “I have no doubt that Alastair will make an excellent addition to the partnership at HSM. His contributions and expertise in navigating contentious matters continues to elevate our practice and benefit our clients.”
While a trusted advisor for permanent residency, immigration appeals and reconsiderations, Alastair also advises on race discrimination, disability discrimination, sex discrimination, unfair dismissal, protected disclosures and breach of contract.
