Jersey-headquartered law firm Bedell Cristin has extended its international reach by opening an office in Singapore to offer British Virgin Islands legal services to Asian clients.

Bedell Cristin (Singapore) will be headed by Stephen Adams. Formerly the principal at BVI firm Barker Adams, he joined Bedell Cristin at the beginning of this year, bringing 15 years’ experience in corporate, banking, funds and investment funds work.

The firm already offers Channel Islands, BVI and Mauritian legal advice, with an emphasis on cross-border international finance, from offices in Jersey, Guernsey, London, BVI and Mauritius.
