Dispute Resolution

About

Provided by O'Neal Webster

Recognized as one of the most effective BVI litigation teams, led by Paul Dennis KC, the firm adeptly handles an array of contentious commercial matters, including cross border disputes, arbitrations, insolvency, and probate litigation in trusts and estates. Working closely with the firm’s corporate, regulatory, and trusts and estate departments, attorneys offer comprehensive representation and proactive counsel on legal effects and ramifications of commercial and estate transactions.

The firm has a long-standing track record of successful collaboration with foreign counsel in multi-jurisdictional litigation involving BVI individuals or companies. Attorneys appear before courts of first instance, arbitration panels, and appellate courts, and represent clients up to the level of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London—the BVI’s highest appellate court.

Experience includes distressed funds, debt restructuring and rescheduling, schemes of arrangement, asset tracing and recovery action, fund liquidation, and appointment and removal of liquidators, receivers, and corporate trustees, as well as shareholder disputes, enforcement of banker’s securities, liquidations, cross-border asset recovery, interim asset preservation, and general business litigation. The team is frequently engaged before the BVI Commercial Court, an internationally recognized institution, established in 2009 to facilitate the speedy and efficient resolution of commercial cases in the BVI system.
