Recognised as one of the most sophisticated offshore financial centres in the world, the Cayman Islands has a concentration of experienced professionals that is second to none, a stable political and economic environment with no direct taxation or exchange controls, and excellent communications technology.

Located in the Caribbean Sea, Grand Cayman is easily accessible by regular direct flights from London, New York, Chicago, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Tampa and Nassau, and remains on the same time (GMT-5 hours) throughout the year.

The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory with a large measure of internal self-government. However, the British Government retains responsibility for internal security, defence, external affairs and the appointment of certain public officers, including the judges.

The financial services sector in the Cayman Islands benefits from a well-established judicial system which has been tested with large commercial cases. Not only is the law derived from English common law, but the close relationship between the government and the private sector also enables the continuing development of cutting-edge legislation relating to the financial industry.

Ogier and Ogier Fiduciary Services (Cayman) Ltd have built a leading position in the area of investment funds, with strong practices also in the areas of structured finance, trust & private client and litigation.
