Mourant has reinforced its new assault on the Cayman legal market by becoming the first offshore law firm to open a New York office. The news follows hard on the heels of Mourant's announcement last week that it is joining forces with Cayman firm Quin & Hampson.
Stephen Ball, Chief Executive Officer of Mourant du Feu & Jeune, said: "This is a very significant development for the offshore legal world. New York is a vital feeder market for the Cayman Islands, and we're very excited to be the first offshore law firm to open an office there. It will be a key element in the business development strategy for our enlarged Cayman practice, following the merger with Quin & Hampson announced on 19 February."
