Conyers’ Private Client & Trust teams have been recognised once again in the Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide 2025. The firm earned Band 1 ranking in both Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands, and a Band 2 ranking in the Cayman Islands. Nine lawyers were individually ranked across the firm’s offices in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands.
Conyers has maintained its Band 1 ranking in Bermuda for Offshore Trusts for the 9th consecutive year. Helen Cooper and Craig MacIntyre, Co-Heads of the Bermuda Private Client & Trust practice, have each received a Band 1 ranking. Fellow Director Ben Adamson is ranked in Band 2, while Anna Bruce-Smith maintains a Band 2 ranking after being newly ranked last year. Director Scott Pearman is newly ranked, being ranked Band 3. Chambers states “The Conyers team is an all-round class act. It knows everything there is to know about trusts in Bermuda.”
The Cayman Islands & BVI Private Client & Trust practices are highly ranked, with head of practice Robert Lindley individually ranked Band 1. Clients recognise Robert as being “approachable and great on strategising and coordinating large projects.” Chambers notes the practice as “one the preferred firms in Cayman and BVI.” Three lawyers are recognised as Up and Coming: Counsel Wesley O’Brien in Hong Kong, Partner Matthew Brown in BVI and Counsel Sally Peedom in Cayman who joined the firm in April 2025.
The Chambers High Net Worth guide is an acclaimed publication that identifies and ranks the world’s leading firms and practitioners specialising in advising high net worth clients.
