Dawn Major

She obtained an Honours in Bachelor of Laws from the University of Liverpool in 2016 and successfully completed the postgraduate Professional Practice Course with a distinction in 2018 from the Truman Bodden Law School.

Prior to joining Collas Crill, Dawn was a Paralegal for the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. Her time and experience there exposed her to a wide array of financial services regulatory matters.

She was admitted to practise as an attorney-at-law in the Cayman Islands in August 2021.

In regulatory disputes there are often fine lines between the usual wrangling with the regulator and something more serious – by matching our mix of experienced contentious and non-contentious lawyers to the particular problem at hand, we achieve better and more efficient outcomes.

As regulatory experts in the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey we frequently act on contentious matters and can leverage our experience to help clients achieve the highest regulatory standards and avoid common pitfalls.

We combine pragmatic risk assessment with rigorous legal advice and compliance guidance to reduce exposure and protect reputation, while drawing on our cross-jurisdictional knowledge to design remediation strategies, negotiate with regulators and, where necessary, litigate effectively.
