Our Hong Kong office specialises in providing British Virgin Islands (BVI), Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey legal advice on all Investment Fund matters. The expert team provides advice on fund formation, structuring and regulation, de-registration and termination and ongoing advice to investment funds and managers.

The team acts in respect of both open and closed ended structures in the hedge, private equity and real estate spaces, and enjoys a particularly close relationship with the regulators, the government and industry bodies in the BVI, Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey.  Members of the team have assisted in drafting and amending the investment funds regulations and are at the forefront of legal and regulatory developments in those jurisdictions.

The legal and fiduciary teams sit side-by-side to provide an integrated service when desired. In addition the Hong Kong team works closely with the Tokyo office to provide assistance to our Japan-based clients in their own language and time zone.
