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.

We are frequently involved in leading international litigation work and have acted on many of the reported cases both before the Commercial Court and the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal. Conyers’ exemplary reputation in the jurisdiction has led to a distinguished track record of advising on high profile disputes in the region, in addition to several landmark cases. 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.
