Profile

Jay Webster is a partner in the dispute resolution team at Carey Olsen Bermuda specialising in employment and immigration law matters. Jay has more than 15 years’ experience advising multinational companies, partnerships, LLPs and senior executives on all aspects of employment and immigration law.  Jay's practice is diverse and his clients include both local and exempt companies involved in a wide variety of sectors including telecoms, insurance and reinsurance, digital assets, financial and professional services.  



Jay regularly provides clients with strategic advice on commercially sensitive employment matters often with significant reputational implications including complex workplace and regulatory investigations, high value discrimination and bonus claims, and crisis management scenarios.  Jay prides himself on taking a pragmatic, commercial and business focused approach to all his work.



In particular, Jay enjoys resolving high value disputes, and has significant experience advising clients on: senior executive dismissals; multi-jurisdictional workplace restructures; trade union disputes; business protection issues (enforcement of restrictive covenants, team moves and breaches of confidentiality); privacy law and data protection issues and sensitive grievance and disciplinary investigations. 



Jay is a member of Carey Olsen Bermuda's Regulatory Team and acts as a Panel Chair in the Bermuda Human Rights Tribunal. Whilst practicing in the UK, Jay was named as a recommended employment law practitioner in the UK Legal 500 (London Human Resources: Employer and Senior Executives).
