Cayman Islands Mutual Funds
Conyers’ Singapore office operates a sophisticated offshore law practice. Since opening in 2001, the office has made significant impact in the region through strong client relationships, and has been instrumental in the introduction of offshore companies as listing vehicles in the ASEAN region.
The demand for full-range offshore legal services in the ASEAN region and in Asia more broadly remains strong. Our lawyers on the ground advise clients on the laws of Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, across industries including aviation, banking and finance, commercial property, health care, investment funds, shipping and natural resources.
Debt and Equity Capital Markets
Our capital market lawyers advise on IPOs, bond and high yield note offerings. The team takes a pragmatic approach from inception and structuring of the capital raising exercise, through to preparation and issue of the offering memorandum, launch of the deal (road show and book building stages), pricing and closing. Our team has over two decades of experience and offers specialist advice and assistance to both long-standing and new clients as their businesses evolve.
Disputes and Restructuring
Our dispute resolution and restructuring offerings in Asia are highly commercial and client-focused. The trilingual team has a wealth of experience in a wide range of commercial disputes. The team also handles contentious probate, and collaborates with our Private Client and Trust practice to provide advisory service to family businesses, HNWIs and UHNWIs in protecting their wealth.
Investment Funds
We act as offshore legal advisers for international and Asia-based fund managers. We provide clients with commercial and innovative advice and solutions, from initial structuring through all aspects of continuing operations and long-term business and regulatory requirements.
With extensive expertise and understanding of the Asian market, our team can advise on the most appropriate structure for fund matters, including the application of the regulatory regimes for investment funds in our jurisdictions.
Conyers Client Services
Our team of experienced company secretaries and corporate managers work together regularly in assisting clients seeking to list on the Singapore Stock Exchange, facilitating incorporations, share issuances, share registrar services, certification of documents and filings with governmental authorities in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands, as well as arranging apostilles and legalisation of documents. Our jurisdictions provide the ideal platform for company formations and are the vehicles of choice for international investors looking to invest in Asia-based businesses.
