Carey Olsen group managing partner Alex Ohlsson said: "Elizabeth, Denis and Henry have all made significant contributions to the firm and I am delighted to welcome them to the partnership. They become partners at a very exciting time as we continue to expand our offering, particularly in the Caribbean and in Asia where they are based."
