Her publicly reported work is comprised primarily of managing contentious special situations concerning Bermuda market participants facing Court or regulator intervention as a result of regulatory or financial distress. These matters include large-scale cross-border corporate insolvencies and restructurings, court approved schemes of arrangement under the Bermuda Companies Act and traditional commercial litigation and complex contractual disputes.
Britt is also a leading choice for trustees, protectors, and beneficiaries seeking advice and representation in relation to UHNW trust structures established under Bermuda law and has acted in a number of high-profile contentious trust proceedings taking place in the Bermuda Supreme Court in recent years.
Britt also leads Harneys Bermuda contentious regulatory practice and acts for regulated entities seeking advice in connection with existential issues concerning regulatory enforcement across the digital asset, (re)insurance, trust and corporate service provider sectors and Bermuda regulators in respect of settlement processes and public interest winding up proceedings.
Prior to joining Harneys in 2025, Britt practised at leading offshore firms in Bermuda (since 2019) and the Cayman Islands, and at Baker McKenzie in Sydney, Australia, in its Tier 1 Dispute Resolution team.
Britt is a member of the International Women’s Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation (IWIRC), RISA and Insol (Bermuda), and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb).
