In the Asia Pacific region, the use of offshore vehicles for international financial transactions is flourishing. British Virgin Islands (BVI) companies are now the second largest source of foreign investment in China, while Cayman Islands companies represent 70% of the Growth Enterprise Market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands Company Law provides lawyers and company directors with an indispensable guide to the corporate laws of these important jurisdictions, offering comprehensive, practical information on formation, capital raising debt, capital raising equity, mutual funds, securitisations, mergers and acquisitions, minority rights, compliance issues, restructurings, schemes of arrangements and the conduct of liquidations.

This landmark work also provides template forms for a variety of actions, summaries of relevant regulations, as well as a useful comparison of the three jurisdictions

On October 14th 2004 the Government of the BVI announced its intention to amalgamate the IBC Act and the Companies Act into a single piece of new legislation, the BVI Business Companies Act. The legislation is expected to come into effect on January 1st 2005.

After the new legislation is enacted, a Supplement to the book will be produced to include the new provisons of the Act with annotated commentary.
