Chartered accountancy firm has brought litigation and insolvency specialist Tim Wright back in as a partner of its British Virgin Islands dispute resolution and litigation practice. Wright’s return as a partner coincides with the appointment of BVI litigator, Simon Hall, as counsel within the team.

Wright, who joins from heading the BVI litigation practice of Bedell Cristin, previously worked for Carey Olsen in the jurisdiction between 2016 and 2019.

The appointments, which follow the lateral hire in September of Alex Hall Taylor QC as head of the BVI dispute resolution and litigation team, are part of Carey Olsen's ongoing strategy to build out the firm's BVI dispute resolution and litigation offering both in the jurisdiction and further afield.

Drawing on his onshore and offshore experience, Wright's practice covers a wide range of litigation and insolvency matters with much of his recent work in the BVI focusing on cross-border fraud and asset tracing and all forms of corporate insolvency work, including liquidation. He is experienced at acting for and against liquidators in substantial insolvency proceedings, advising on shareholder disputes and unfair prejudice petitions, trust disputes, fraud work, and complex multi-jurisdictional cases emanating especially from Russia/CIS and China.

Wright worked for more than five years at Maples Group in BVI.
