HSM Retains Gold Medal for Immigration Law by Best of Cayman Islands 2024
HSM’s immigration team has been recognised for the second consecutive year with a gold medal by the Best of Cayman Islands for their 2024 awards.
Led by HSM Managing Partner Huw Moses, the team handles everything from work permit applications to the right to be Caymanian to permanent residency and everything in between, including relocation assistance, registration as a British Overseas Territory Citizen and passport applications.
HSM’s immigration team includes: Senior Attorney Alastair David; Attorney Gavin Dixon, Immigration Services Manager Samantha Bartley; Immigration Services Supervisors: Pete Iton and Ariella Smith; Senior Immigration Services Assistant: Dwyane Wright and Immigration Services Assistants: Chandra Bodden, Ayla Ramirez-Ebanks and Tarec Francis.
Should a matter become contentious, unlike immigration providers who are not also law firms, we can assist our clients with court proceedings should this be required. Some of Alastair’s noteworthy cases include a domestic violence victim challenging Cayman’s immigration law and another case where the Court of Appeal declared that the Immigration Act is incompatible with section 9 of the Bill of Rights, which deals with family and private life. Gavin joined HSM in December 2023 and his prior advocacy experience at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions makes him well-versed before the Cayman Courts.
HSM strives to be at the forefront of immigration matters in the Cayman Islands. For the latest news, HSM sends regular newsletters that contain up-to-date statistics, application timelines and covers other interesting topics related to immigration.
