Cayman Islands
Appleby is one of the 'magic circle' of offshore firms. The Cayman office is the oldest Cayman law firm, tracing its history back to 1945. It is noted for its litigation and insolvency and commercial practices by many of the leading legal directories.
The Cayman Islands have branches of 40 of the world’s 50 largest banks. It is the leading offshore jurisdiction for the registration of investment funds and is the second largest captive domicile in the world with more than 700 captives. The jurisdiction is also recognised in providing trusts, structured finance, company and partnership formation and vessel and aircraft registry services.
The availability of expert professional advice and the reputation for being a respectable and well-regulated financial centre with a stable and business-friendly government, have contributed to the success of the islands’ financial services industry. Listed on the OECD’s white list, service providers adhere to all relevant international compliance standards and are committed to supporting global efforts to fight financial crime.
Huw Moses is the Managing Partner of the Cayman office and leads a team of approximately 150 staff members, including 40 lawyers. The organisation is able to respond to the needs of international clients in all aspects of commercial business and dispute resolution.
We also provide services required by our local clients for their business and personal needs. The lawyers in our Cayman office advise clients on a variety of issues related to Cayman law and are able to facilitate the provision of legal advice in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Mauritius and the Seychelles. Utilising the organisation's affiliate company, Appleby Trust (Cayman) Ltd., our lawyers are able to assist clients with services that range from the incorporation of a company to providing advice and/or opinions on finance, or general corporate and commercial issues.
