I believe that the knowledge I have gained from each of my supervisors during my articles is invaluable and thank them for their continued support,” Powell-Francis said.
John Wolf, Head of Campbells’ Corporate Department said, “We are delighted that Katherine has been called to the Cayman Bar and we are fortunate to have her as part of our team here at Campbells. I look forward to seeing her continue to develop her legal skills in the coming years. I am pleased that, as a young Caymanian, she has and continues to demonstrate all the qualities that it takes to be successful. Katherine serves as a great role model for our youth, showing the rewards of hard work and determination.”
