Senior International Regulation Specialist Joins Cains.
Cains is delighted to announce that Lindsey Bermingham has joined its Litigation Department.
Lindsey has moved from the Attorney General’s Chambers where she specialised in dealing with international requests for assistance from foreign law enforcement agencies and regulators and with the Isle of Man’s obligations under Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties.
Lindsey also provided advice to the Attorney General in relation to anti-money laundering issues affecting the Isle of Man and advised the Financial Crime Unit in relation to its investigations of serous or complex fraud and the suspicious transaction reporting regime.
Seth Caine, Head of Cains’ Litigation Department, said:
“Lindsey has unparalleled experience in dealing with foreign requests for assistance in obtaining evidence from individuals and companies resident in the Isle of Man. We have no doubt that the volume and significance of such requests will increase considerably in the future, and we are delighted that we will be able to draw on Lindsey’s knowledge and expertise in such areas in advising our clients in relation to their obligation to provide such evidence.”
Lindsey has been involved in a number of high-profile cases in the Isle of Man, including the recent case of Re Poyiadjis, in which the US Securities and Exchange Commission recovered over US$200million from Isle of Man trusts, pursuant to an External Confiscation Order made by the US Courts.
Lindsey commented:
“I am thrilled to have been given this opportunity. Cains is a leading international law firm with a first class reputation and I am looking forward to using and developing my skills to meet the demands of Cains’ clients to contribute to the Isle of Man’s continuing success”.
