He has more than 10 years experience of Chancery litigation and advisory work, and another 10 he was the Lecturer in Law at King's College in London.

Raymond Davern told the press that the BVI has the potential to flourish as a jurisdiction for private clients and high net worth individuals. He spoke about the importance of the new Private Client practice, which will offer an increase in the level of choices and will be able to bring Conyers brand to private clients, as well as raise the jurisdiction's profile.

Robert Briant, Managing Partner of Conyers´ BVI office, said that the introduction of the Trust & Private Client practice in the jurisdiction extends the BVI practice of Conyers into ''a full service law firm advising on a full range of corporate, litigation and trust & private client law.”
