The firm established its BVI office in 2013 with an initial focus on international commercial transactions, investment funds and offshore structures. The firm's new litigation practice will be under the leadership of  BVI solicitor advocate Ben Mays who joins the firm as partner and head of BVI litigation. Mr Mays has extensive commercial litigation experience with a particular focus on complex contentious and non-contentious cross-border insolvency.
