Bermuda, British virgin islands and Cayman islands Company law

3rd edition NEW

Christoper Bickley

The use of offshore jurisdictions has been highly successful. Offshore jurisdictions provide international businesses with user friendly company legislation and inexpensive company incorporation and maintenance services. They also provide a tax neutral base through which investments can be channelled. Bermuda, BVI and Cayman Islands levy no tax on their offshore companies and with a growing offshore jurisdiction industry, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands continue to maintain their popularity through sound law and high international standards.

Already established as the leading book in this area, “Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands Company Law” discusses company law in these jurisdictions. This is particularly useful for onshore practitioners or company secretaries, providing the context within which companies can operate in a broad range of international transactions.

The third edition of this title contains major recent developments to the law and practice in these three jurisdictions, including the recent focus and case law on the insolvency regimes; the use of private trust companies; the revamping of Cayman Islands liquidation practice and procedure; and, in the BVI, the new computer registration system VIRRGEN.

The third edition has been updated to reflect major developments including:

The use of private trust companies and the •regulation that applies to them

The development and listing of special purpose •acquisition corporations (SPACs)

Cayman Islands’ new merger law and new •liquidation regimes

Recent BVI case law on BVI shareholder dissent •rights on a merger

Fund litigation e.g. substantially updated chapter •on mutual funds

Insolvency regimes – Case Law developments.•
