HSM Retains Ranking by Benchmark Litigation Latin America
HSM is proud to once again be ranked by Benchmark Litigation Latin America in their 2020 assessment of notable dispute resolution law firms in the Cayman Islands.
This recognition highlights HSM’s ability to successfully handle litigation and dispute matters.
In addition to the firm being recognised, HSM Partner Ian Lambert and HSM Senior Associate Adam Crane have been featured as Litigation Stars along with HSM consultant William Helfrecht.
Benchmark Litigation shares that HSM’s dispute group “successfully obtained the Cayman Islands recognition of the Hong Kong appointed interim receivers over a private equity fund in the Cayman Islands. Litigation stars Ian Lambert and Adam Crane acted as the attorneys for the Joint Official Liquidators of several registered funds referred to as the “AwalCos,” defending claims within liquidation proceedings for each of those funds. The duo contributed to the successful group defense of the AwalCos at trial, and acted for the AwalCos in the appeal before the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal in May and June 2019. The appeal was heard over the course of six weeks and is expected to become precedent-setting related to asset recovery/tracing and proprietary claims. This complex matter involves contracts and parties governed by the laws of various jurisdictions, including the Cayman Islands, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UK, Switzerland and United States, and was subjected to various cross-border proceedings including Chapter 15 recognition in the Southern District of New York/Delaware, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia. Lambert and Crane also represent two Official Liquidators appointed by the Cayman Court over respective funds in an ongoing liquidation matter.”
Benchmark Litigation Latin America is known to be the definitive guide to the region’s leading litigation law firms and lawyers. They have been researching and publishing firms since 2008 and their coverage expands beyond Latin American to cover areas in the Unites States, Canada and most recently, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
