Harneys’ Hong Kong office is the hub of our expanding British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands Legal practice in Asia. Harneys has been the leading firm for BVI law for decades; we helped write the commercial law and no other firm comes close to our collective expertise. Lawyers from our Hong Kong office advise on a wide range of matters covering the core transactional practice areas including banking and finance, capital markets, corporate, trusts and investment funds.
Our Cayman transactional practice advises on banking and finance, corporate, capital markets, funds and trusts matters. We have particular expertise on Cayman Islands funds and the structuring of downstream corporate transactions for private equity and venture capital funds.
We undertake all aspects of litigation in BVI and Cayman Islands courts, shareholders disputes, fraud and asset tracing/enforcement and contentious trusts disputes. Our restructuring and insolvency group leads the offshore market in both global reach and expertise. We advise lenders and investors at all levels of the capital structure, corporates and insolvency officeholders. Other areas of expertise include debt and equity rescheduling and refinancing, distressed mergers and acquisitions and distressed funds advice.
The Hong Kong office also provides clients with a real time interface for Harneys’ Anguilla and Cyprus law practices and its BVI intellectual property, regulatory, private client and shipping practices. We also offer corporate and fiduciary services through our affiliate Harneys Corporate Services (Asia) Limited.
