Liquidations
We act as liquidators for Cayman companies and funds. Where a company has paid its debts, completed its operations and is no longer required by its shareholders, they can appoint us on behalf of the directors to act as Voluntary Liquidator and place the company into Voluntary Liquidation. This saves the cost of annual statutory and registered office fees. Once dissolved through a Voluntary Liquidation, the company cannot normally be re-instated, which provides certainty for its directors, officers, shareholders and creditors and eliminates any residual litigation risks, whereas if a company is struck off for non-payment of fees these, potential risks remain.
Regulatory and Compliance Services
We provide comprehensive compliance services. The compliance landscape includes constantly changing legislation, guidance and updated data, the adherence of which is critical to entities falling under this wide umbrella. Anti-Money Laundering programs need to be robustly implemented by experts who understand and are up to date on all aspects of this fluid industry component. Implementation of sound compliance policies and procedures ensures the fulfilment of vital regulatory systems.

We liaise with corporate advisors to establish and administer Special Purpose Vehicles for corporations, trusts, partnerships, and limited liability companies. SPVs serve an important function in the efficient operation of global financial markets. They enable large institutions to effectively transfer risk, obtain financing, and implement particular investment activities. Entities which establish SPVs must ensure that investors clearly understand the risks involved in these structures and must also continuously manage their risks. With proper parameters and effective management, SPVs can provide numerous useful benefits.
