Conyers’ Bermuda legal practices earn top rankings across all categories in the Chambers Global Guide 2025.
Conyers Bermuda retained its Band 1 rankings in the 2025 Chambers Global Guide across three key practice areas: Corporate & Finance, Insurance, and Dispute Resolution.
Once again, more Conyers lawyers have been ranked and featured in the 2025 rankings than any other Bermuda law firm. Director and Chairman Christian Luthi and Head of the Bermuda Corporate practice Marcello Ausenda each maintained the rank of Eminent Practitioner – Chambers’ most prestigious accolade – for Dispute Resolution and Corporate & Finance respectively. Additionally, a record fifteen Conyers Bermuda lawyers (including three from Conyers leading Insurance & Reinsurance practice) have been acknowledged by Chambers. Four new entrants include: Directors Guy Cooper, Victor Richards, Chiara Nannini and Jacqueline King.
Chambers distinguishes the Bermuda Corporate practice as “a go-to name among onshore law firms seeking Bermuda counsel.” The firm is noted for its continued involvement in numerous high-profile transactions, and the team is recognised for its breadth of experience. Clients commenting on the Bermuda Corporate practice said, “Conyers has a deep knowledge of Bermuda law and how it interacts with US and international law on transactions.”
Marcello Ausenda, Director and Head of the Bermuda Corporate practice, stated: “The Chambers Global Guide is designed to highlight market-leading firms for their excellence and dedication to client service, and Conyers’ Bermuda Corporate practice continues to stand out as the undisputed leader in the island’s legal market. This is a significant achievement for our lawyers, who are rightfully recognised in this year’s rankings. I am particularly proud to see newly ranked lawyers from both our Shipping and Insurance practices, reaffirming our industry-leading expertise in these areas. With a record 11 corporate lawyers ranked, this recognition demonstrates that Conyers’ Bermuda Corporate practice has the largest and most talented bench of first-tier transactional lawyers in our market.”
Conyers’ Dispute Resolution practice was applauded for being one of the strongest litigation practices in Bermuda. In the words of one client commenting on the practice, “Conyers is one of the leading law firms in this field because of the knowledge, judgement and client care skills which its lawyers display.”
Conyers Chairman Christian Luthi, who also leads the Bermuda Dispute Resolution practice, commented, “We are pleased that Chambers continues to acknowledge our leadership in Bermuda’s Dispute Resolution practice. This recognition highlights not only our legal expertise but also the dedication and passion our lawyers consistently demonstrate in resolving complex disputes and achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.”
Chambers notes Conyers’ Bermuda Insurance practice for “displaying comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of insurance, reinsurance and related transactional matters.”
Sophia Greaves, Director and Head of the Bermuda Insurance practice said, “Conyers’ Bermuda Insurance practice is proud to be recognised by Chambers. With more insurance lawyers ranked than any other law firm in Bermuda, Chambers’ recognition reaffirms our position as the leading dedicated insurance practice in the jurisdiction. Congratulations to Jacqueline King and Chiara Nannini who are newly ranked – an achievement that reflects our team’s growing talent, experience and expertise within the insurance transactional and regulatory space.
Bermuda’s Private Client & Trust practice is also ranked Band 1 in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide.
