The London Office of Harney Westwood & Riegels,
the largest law firm in the BVI, opened for business in September.
The partner running the London Office is ex Allen & Overy finance
lawyer Peter Tarn and it is clear that the structured finance market
is high on his agenda.
"The
basic business rationale for London is that ever increasingly complex
transactions require a presence on the ground where these deals
are structured, people won't wait until Tortola is open to get answers
and there is no substitute for being in the room when structuring
decisions are being made".
