From the early
beginnings, in 1928, Conyers Dill & Pearman has maintained a wide-ranging
and vigorous law practice which has significantly expanded. Since 1935, the
Firm's international practice has been at the forefront of developments
in Trust and corporate planning. The Firm's shipping practice, founded in 1956,
is widely recognised in international circles. In the early 1960's the Firm was
a major player in the development of international insurance and helped establish Bermuda
as the widely respected insurance and reinsurance capital it is acknowleged as today.
Originally established in Bermuda, Conyers Dill & Pearman pioneered the concept of
multi-jurisdictional offshore law. In 1982, Conyers Dill & Pearman became
the first offshore law firm to venture outside the home
jurisdiction; setting up an office in Guernsey. This was followed in 1985 with
the establishment of the Hong Kong office – another first for an
offshore firm.
In the mid 1990’s, Conyers Dill & Pearman became the first
law firm to provide multi-jurisdictional advice on the corporate laws of
Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands. And, in 2001, Conyers Dill
& Pearman became the only law firm to offer legal advice in
each of the jurisdictions of Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and
Anguilla. To complement the aforementioned, the firm also has offices in Dubai,
London and Singapore.
By virtue of having an established and respected presence, in locations that
are convenient for our clients, Conyers Dill & Pearman has become
renowned for quality, dispassionate advice and has garnered a reputation as
being the offshore law firm of choice.
