Morten Sagis

Whenever I’m working on a case, I am genuinely interested in my clients and their affairs. For me, this is what makes being a lawyer so interesting. When working as a lawyer in the Caribbean, you can actually see the results of your work. One day you’re drafting documents for the financing of a new hotel and a few months later, you drive by the building site of that same hotel every day on your way to the office.
