Welcome to Ogier's dedicated home for Cayman Crypto Week 2026, where you'll find contact details for our attendees, information about our services and useful resources to assist you with your technology and Web3 objectives.
Ogier is a sponsor of this event, presented by the Blockchain Association of the Cayman Islands (BACI), which will connect industry leaders, fund managers, investors, entrepreneurs and pioneers in a buzzing crypto-focused environment in the Cayman Islands and promises thought-provoking crypto discussions in conjunction with valuable networking opportunities.
If you have a tech, virtual asset or blockchain question and need steering in the right direction, our representatives at Cayman Crypto Week would be delighted to discuss your project. To connect, get in touch with them directly below.
Ogier is the market leader in the Cayman Islands for structuring centralised and decentralised Web3 projects, including advising on foundation company set up and operations, Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) governance as well as providing advice to development teams. Do you have a Web3 project in the works? We've got you covered.
Using flexible and innovative structures, we help you launch your new project, advise on your existing operational foundations and DAOs and assist with your token issuances including private sales, airdrops and grants of tokens and NFTs.
Our cross-jurisdictional capabilities mean we can also advise on the best structures to use for public sales and distributions.
We advise and structure the world's largest traditional blockchain development projects and virtual asset businesses including tokenised funds, exchange, lenders, traders, market makers, consultants, brokers, transfer agents and custodians.
We further provide regulatory and transactional advice to regulated virtual asset services providers, including assisting in the application process for licensing and registration under Cayman's Virtual Asset (Service Providers) Act.
Technology-related projects can be complex and it is understandable that you might have to deal with direct challenges from a client. Should this happen, Ogier's Dispute Resolution team is here to support you. We provide advice and assistance at every stage of a dispute, including providing crisis management assistance and strategic communications advice from the outset. We have significant experience in all contentious matters, including representing clients affected by liquidation events such as the collapse of Three Arrows and FTX.
Our experts will advise you from the very beginning of a dispute, through to providing representation during any court or arbitration process.
Chris Wall, partner in Cayman and co-lead of Ogier's Technology and Web3 sector group, is chairing a panel session: Crypto without borders on Wednesday 11 February.
Hear from Chris as he and the panel explore how Cayman can help you achieve your crypto business goals, with practical insights on structuring, partnerships and international opportunities.
Dispute resolution expert Gemma Bellfield is also speaking at the conference, joining a breakfast event with the Crypto Fraud and Asset Recovery Network on Thursday 12 February.
The panel will discuss lessons from crypto collapses for investors, directors and insolvency practitioners.
Racheal Muldoon, Corporate partner in Ogier's London office and part of the firm's Technology and Web3 sector group, is moderating a panel session, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Legal and Trustee Perspectives on Crypto Governance and Control, on Friday 13 February.
The panel will explore what “good” really looks like in crypto and digital asset businesses before before a flip to failure mode: where governance breaks down, controls fail, and how small weaknesses turn into major crises.
