The global consultancy’s expansion to the Cayman Islands is a response to the increasing growth in the firm’s overall regulatory services.

Mourant, a law
firm-led professional services business, has appointed Amy Gurm
to head up the newly-launched Mourant Consulting offering in the
Cayman Islands.

Joining Gurm (pictured) in the growing Cayman-based Mourant
Consulting team is Yara Henry, who has been appointed as
associate director.

Gurm, who was previously director of Mourant Consulting in
Jersey, has relocated to the Cayman Islands to lead the
consultancy business as director. She has more than 15 years’
experience as a risk and regulatory professional across financial
services, public and other regulated business. Gurm’s expertise
covers AML, corporate governance, internal audit and
regulatory advisory services across funds, bank and trust
companies and fund administrators.

Henry has over 18 years’ experience in the financial services
industry in the Cayman Islands, with technical expertise in the
banking and trust sectors. Prior to joining Mourant Consulting,
Henry was a chief analyst in the Banking Supervision Division at
the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). She also has
experience working on the Cayman Islands’ National Risk
Assessment, where she was a member and co-chair of two working
groups.

Mourant Consulting managing director Mike Jones said: “We’re
proud to launch this new offering in the Cayman Islands. Mourant
Consulting in Jersey has been a huge success and Amy has played
an integral part in that, so we’re sure she’ll grow the business
to be just as successful in the Cayman Islands. Her expertise in
risk and compliance makes her the ideal fit to lead this new
service. The launch is a direct result of growing demand for our
regulatory services and will further strengthen our client
offering.

“Yara brings with her a wealth of experience in financial
services regulation in the Cayman Islands and will be a valuable
asset to the team.”

Working in collaboration with the firm’s regulatory legal
practice, Mourant Consulting in the Cayman Islands will offer a
depth of regulatory knowledge combined with secure expertise to
help financial services’ clients build long-term strategies to
enhance their governance, risk and compliance culture and
navigate the changing regulatory landscape.

Mourant Consulting also launched a base in Guernsey in September
2022.
