Ogier's specialist relocations team have experience in all aspects of advising HNWIs and families on relocating to Cayman, including immigration, property, estates and corporate matters.
Our team works with tax advisers and onshore counsel on everything from pre-move planning to the immigration process and property matters, including advising on the suitable route to residency for each applicant's personal requirements.
With many decades experience in this specialist area, our offering is built upon absolute discretion and a one-stop-shop service that covers every element of relocation, including related corporate and advice on private wealth structures.
With our unique and longstanding network of contacts in the Cayman Islands, we can offer an exceptionally smooth process to clients and intermediaries.
Our team is led by managing partner James Bergstrom, a longstanding Cayman Attorney and a former President of the Caymanian Bar Association, and Cline Glidden, a former Government Minister who is now a qualified Attorney.
We advise not just on the immigration process and residency requirements but also on real estate transactions – we have advised on one of the highest value real estate transactions in the Cayman Islands.
Working with colleagues in our Private Wealth and Corporate teams, we can also advise on business relocations, and matters relating to Cayman law over probate and estates, including the drafting of Cayman wills.
We have been advising in this area for many years, and have an unrivalled network of contacts within the Island to make the process as smooth and straight-forward as possible.
Our team offers integrated legal and corporate administration services providing a one-stop shop for all your Cayman Islands services.
We advise on BVI, Cayman, Guernsey, Ireland, Jersey and Luxembourg law – we are the only law firm to advise on these laws, and we have additional teams in Beijing, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo.
We have been in Cayman since 1991 and our client base includes trustees, fiduciaries, settlors, their advisers, located around the globe, including in Europe, Asia and South America.
Our teams include some of the leading names in the offshore world, and nine of our practices are ranked as best in their jurisdiction. We were named Law Firm of the Year in four of our jurisdictions in the 2023 Citywealth IFC Awards
