Practice Areas
Simon is a Partner in the Insolvency and Corporate Disputes team in Cayman. Simon has more than 15 years of multi-jurisdictional litigation and alternative dispute resolution experience and specialises in high-value commercial and trust litigation (including 'trust busting'), enforcement and asset-tracing and cross-border insolvency matters.
Simon has extensive experience in dispute resolution matters and has been involved in some of the Island's largest and most complex cases, most recently in the Privy Council in the Z Trusts saga. He regularly appears before the Jersey courts at all levels. Simon has refined his practice to focus on commercial and trust litigation, enforcement and asset recovery (including the obtaining of urgent injunctive relief and trust 'busting') and cross-border insolvency. He is regularly instructed to advise office holders, boards of companies, creditors and shareholders.
Simon's reputation as a leader in his respective fields continues to grow. He has been praised for his strong technical skills, attention to detail and for having a 'real world' approach to the law. He is regularly instructed by large onshore firms in complex cross-jurisdictional matters with a Jersey element and has a strong local network.
In 2024, Simon became the first lawyer and one of only four individuals in the Channel Islands to be recognised as an INSOL Fellow, having passed the Global Insolvency Practice Course.
Simon relocated to the Cayman Islands from Jersey in October 2024, having previously spent a number of years there prior to his stint in the Channel Islands.
