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.
