Conyers was the first international firm in the British Virgin Islands, with our office established in 1996, and we have been at the heart of the jurisdiction’s development into an International Financial Centre.

These have included acting in the largest asset tracing litigation from and by Commonwealth of Independent States, through to the largest and most complex receiverships involving the People’s Republic of China.
