EXPERIENCED LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION TEAM
RESTRUCTURING AND INSOLVENCY PRACTICE
GLOBAL SERVICE
Our team of litigators can provide the expertise and advocacy
required for complex legal disputes with an international
dimension. They have extensive experience in representing clients
both in the courts of Bermuda and before arbitration tribunals.
We advise on a broad range of corporate and commercial
matters and can assemble specialist teams to advise on
contentious issues in areas including:
• insurance and reinsurance
• trust
• banking
• internal corporate disputes
• takeovers and mergers
• contentious aspects of insolvency and restructuring
Bermuda is a common law jurisdiction. English case precedents
carry strong persuasive authority in Bermuda. Cases are heard in
the Supreme Court of Bermuda, a court of first instance with
unlimited jurisdiction, with appeals to the Court of Appeals for
Bermuda. Final appeal lies, with leave, to the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council in London.
We offer clear, practical advice to clients at times when they are
facing financial challenges. Our lawyers are accustomed to
working with our clients in finding creative and practical ways in
which to restructure their businesses, whether local or
international.
We provide advice to our clients on all areas of
liquidation and restructuring including:
• creditors’ rights
• directors’ duties
• schemes of arrangement (both solvent and insolvent)
• cross border issues
• global corporate reorganisations
• liquidations (both solvent and insolvent)
As many of our clients operate in the world arena, we have
established links with leading professional advisors around the
world and are adept at coordinating multi-jurisdictional litigation
and restructuring. In addition, through links with our overseas
offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, BVI and Cayman we
can offer our clients the benefit of a seamless global service.
