Anthony joined the Firm as Senior Partner in 2012 resuming a long and distinguished Cayman Islands legal career. The Firm was designed to provide the highest quality offshore legal advice on complex transactional matters and without the constraints of hourly rate billing or internal legal fee targets.

An expert in all forms of offshore financial structuring, he was the architect of the legislation governing key financial services in the Cayman Islands including the Exempted Limited Partnership Law 1991 and the Mutual Funds Law 1993 which formed the foundation for private equity and investment funds in the Cayman Islands and, in the area of private client, the Fraudulent Dispositions Law 1989. Having advised government on and prepared the Stock Exchange Law 1996, he has served as Chairman of the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange from inception and has advised the Cayman Islands Government on legislative initiatives as a member of the Financial Services Council.
