Hawksford has significant ambitions to grow its multi-jurisdictional, multi-service funds proposition.

Establishing a new presence in Cayman was therefore a natural next step for the global service provider, with the firm acquiring Paradigm Governance Partners last year.

Michel van Leeuwen has joined Hawksford as group chief executive. The executive has experience in financial services and Fin-Tech and has held similar roles at Cordium and Microsoft Capital Markets. Hawksford said the appointment underpins the firm’s focus on an accelerated growth in core corporate, private client and funds service lines.
