Priestleys has announced the appointment of Deidre Garcia-Daniel as a Paralegal working in the firm’s real estate and corporate practices.

Deidre, a born and raised Caymanian, is a highly experienced solicitor with 9 years’ experience having qualified as a solicitor in England in 2014. After nearly a decade of working in the field of human rights, as well as being a First-Tier Tribunal Member in the UK Judiciary system, she has decided to move into the world of real estate and corporate practice. Deidre brings a unique set of skills to her new role, including a deep understanding of legal regulations, a talent for negotiation, and a commitment to fairness and justice. She is excited to bring her expertise to her new role and to help clients navigate the complex world of real estate transactions.

Deidre says ‘’Priestleys have offered me an exciting opportunity to grow my legal expertise and experience. Having left Cayman in 2002, while continuing to visit regularly and at times working here remotely, I have watched in awe as the island continues to change and develop immeasurably. Moving home 20 years later, I am excited to be a part of this change. At Priestleys I will be working across both the real estate and corporate practice groups giving me the opportunity to explore all areas of interest for both international and domestic Cayman Islands clients.”

Nick Hemus, Associate at Priestleys says ‘’ We are delighted that Deidre has joined our team and know that she will bring a breadth of experience from her time in the UK. Deidre’s experience in human rights law allows her to consider each case diligently and meticulously, considering every aspect before building a case’.
