Conyers Dill & Pearman boosts litigation team with promotion

Law firm Conyers Dill & Pearman has promoted Ben Hobden to partner in its Cayman Islands Litigation and Restructuring team.

Hobden joined Conyers in early 2012 from a large regional firm in the UK and is ranked in both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500.

Adding a fourth partner to the rapidly expanding global Cayman litigation and restructuring offering means that we are now in a fantastic position to continue to provide the world-class and dedicated service to our clients with which the team has become synonymous.”
