Carey Olsen has announced that Kim Paiva has joined the firm’s Guernsey office as a group partner, bringing with her 15 years of experience advising on complex banking and finance transactions.
Kim’s practice spans real estate finance, corporate finance, leveraged finance, asset finance, fund finance and general corporate lending. She has also worked closely with colleagues across corporate and funds, trusts and regulatory, and dispute resolution, providing strategic legal advice on complex cross-practice matters including acquisitions, group restructuring and enforcement actions.
Kim (pictured) joins Carey Olsen from another offshore law firm where she was a group partner in its banking and finance practice, leading the expansion of the firm’s finance and aviation sectors. Before moving to Guernsey in 2009, Kim qualified and worked as a corporate and commercial lawyer in Cape Town, South Africa.
Kim commented: “I’m thrilled to be joining Carey Olsen’s market-leading banking and finance team. Over the course of my career so far, I’ve had the privilege of working on many complex transactions and driving forward the growth of specialist areas within banking and finance law. Joining a team with such a strong reputation in this sector provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to its continued success and work alongside an exceptionally talented group of lawyers. I look forward to getting started.”
Tom Carey, managing partner of Carey Olsen Guernsey, added: “I am delighted to welcome Kim to the partnership. Kim brings exceptional expertise and is widely regarded as a leader in her field. Her proven ability to lead high-performing teams, drive business development and manage key client relationships will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our banking and finance practice.”
