In this episode of our Take10 podcast, Partner Peter Ferrer is joined by Counsel Kimberly Crabbe-Adams as she provides insights into her experience growing up in the British Virgin Islands, pursuing her career in law, and the importance of passion.
Key Takeaways:
- Kimberly first joined Harneys as part of a work-study programme while she was in high school in the BVI. After furthering her education in Canada and the UK, she held pupillages across our Corporate and Commercial, Banking and Finance and Investment Funds and Regulatory departments.
- She permanently joined the firm’s Litigation, Restructuring and Insolvency practice in 2011 and is currently the President of the BVI Bar Association.
- Harneys seconded Kimberly to the Hong Kong office for two years; an experience that provided face-to-face client interactions which helped strengthen her relationships and understanding of the business.
- An active volunteer as an adjudicator for the National Secondary School Debates, Kimberly interacts with students often, providing mentorship and support throughout the BVI community.
- When deciding on a career path, Kimberly’s advice to students is that they should focus on passion. Their careers should involve things that they enjoy, are excited about and energised by.
