Romauld is an associate in Ogier’s BVI Dispute Resolution team with a wealth of experience in insolvency and restructuring work, as well as commercial and crypto disputes.
Romauld’s practice involves an array of insolvency and restructuring matters in the BVI. He is currently acting for the joint liquidators in the ongoing cross-border liquidation of Three Arrows Capital Ltd, a cryptocurrency hedge fund previously valued at over US$3bn. He has also acted in the cross-border restructuring of the Constellation Group which saw six BVI companies placed into "light touch" provisional liquidation for this purpose. He has experience in a wide range of commercial litigation matters, including shareholder disputes and contractual claims, including those with cryptocurrency elements.
Before joining Ogier, Romauld had experience as legal counsel in an Oxford-based medical technology start-up company. He then worked as an associate attorney in a leading law firm in Trinidad and Tobago, where he was involved in contentious client work in civil litigation and public / constitutional law. He provided integral work on matters before all tiers of the justice system, including the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Romauld is a law graduate of Queen Mary University of London and later completed the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) at the University of Oxford.
