SPOTLIGHT
Corporate Advice – Cayman Islands
Appleby is one of the top corporate law firms in the Cayman Islands, with lawyers who have honed their expertise through years of completing groundbreaking global deals. Together, our Cayman lawyers have extensive experience across banking, corporate finance, fund finance, derivatives, investment funds, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, insurance, real estate and capital markets transactions.
For multi-jurisdictional deals where we are already providing corporate advice on Cayman Islands law, we are also able to plug into our extensive offshore network of other Appleby offices, thereby providing the one-stop, seamless service that clients expect. For those jurisdictions where we do not have a presence, our Cayman lawyers can leverage their well-established local relationships to ensure that clients have access to the best corporate lawyers where required.

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 650 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 Cayman’s 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.
