Combined with its affiliated fiduciary services business, Harneys is the second largest private employer in the BVI.

He was joined by Neville Westwood in 1967 and Michael Riegels in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harneys - History )〕 Notable Harneys alumni include: * Michael Riegels QC, inaugural chairman of the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission * Janice Pereira, the current Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court * Lewis Hunte QC, former Attorney General of the British Virgin Islands * Tamia Richards, senior Magistrate in the British Virgin Islands. The firm has worked closely with the government of the BVI over the years in relation to the development of the offshore finance industry in the Territory. Three of the partners of the firm formed part of the "gang of five" that drafted the original International Business Companies Act, and members of the firm were also closely involved in the drafting of subsequent key legislation including the Insolvency Act 2003, the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 and the Securities and Investment Business Act 2010.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harney Westwood & Riegels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
