UK accountancy firm has appointed Catherine Cadman as head of knowledge to lead its knowledge strategy.

Cadman is a 20-year veteran of knowledge management, with leadership roles at onshore and offshore law firms, and will join the Jersey office to oversee the firm’s global presence across six jurisdictions.

The new position is a response to Bedell Cristin’s recent growth and emphasis on providing a consistent service across its offices. The firm completed a merger last month with Cayman law firm Solomon Harris to boost its expertise for its international clients, particularly those in the Middle East and Far East, already well served by the firm.

David Cadin, managing partner at Bedell Cristin, said: “Knowledge management is about harnessing our greatest asset – our employees’ expertise – for the benefit of our clients; adding Cadman’s arrival will be “instrumental” in growing the business".

Bedell Cristin offers legal advice, with an emphasis on cross-border international finance, from offices in Jersey, Guernsey, London, the BVI, Mauritius and Cayman.
