The use of offshore vehicles for international financial transactions is flourishing and is becoming more and more popular in the Asia Pacific region. The Fourth Edition of this landmark work Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands Company Law is an indispensable, practical guide to the laws of these important jurisdictions. The downturn in world economies has led to the insolvency and restructuring of many offshore entities bringing a new focus on the insolvency regimes in each jurisdiction with recent reported cases in Bermuda, BVI and the Cayman Islands. This new edition examines these major changes and provides updated analysis, commentary and template forms for a variety of actions as well as extracts of relevant regulations. The side-by-side comparison of these three jurisdictions is particularly useful for onshore practitioners or company secretaries.
