Maples and Calder has appointed four new associates to the firm’s growing funds team in its Cayman Islands office and a new partner to the British Virgin Islands office.

Tim Clipstone, Greg Barwick, Philip Dickinson, Patrick Head and Lucy Nicklas are each specialists in their respective fields.

"It is with great pleasure that we add these new lawyers to our firm, as we anticipate that their collective expertise will serve to add more strength in depth to our client offering," says Jon Fowler (pictured), global head of the funds group at Maples and Calder. "Maples and Calder is renowned for its collegiate approach and reputation as a top tier international law firm. We feel that these hires reinforce that position and are pleased that each of these lawyers made the decision to join us."

All five have each represented large international financial institutions and independent investment managers across the spectrum.

Each has experience in advising on fund structuring, formation, ongoing compliance, governance, restructuring and winding-up.
