Legal services in Cayman Islands

Cayman exempted companies provide flexible corporate vehicles for holding structures, trading operations, joint ventures, and IP ownership with 100% foreign ownership, no public filing of accounts, confidential shareholder information, and 50-year tax exemptions available through government undertakings. We establish exempted companies with tailored memorandum and articles of association addressing share classes (voting, non-voting, preference, redeemable), director powers, dividend policies, and protective provisions for minority shareholders. Governance structuring includes resident director services through licensed providers, registered office provision, corporate secretary appointments, and compliance with economic substance requirements for relevant activities including holding companies, IP businesses, and financing operations. Our advisory covers Cayman Foundation Companies for estate planning and charitable purposes combining corporate flexibility with foundation asset segregation, limited liability companies for US tax transparency, and segregated portfolio companies isolating assets and liabilities across statutory cellular structures. We manage ongoing compliance including annual government fees (scaled by authorized capital), beneficial ownership filings with Cayman General Registry, economic substance notifications and reporting, and corporate record maintenance ensuring sustainable Cayman operations.
