Details

British Virgin Islands Commercial Law is the first and only publication that focuses exclusively on the British Virgin Islands. The book provides a deep analytical view of the offshore jurisdiction’s legal landscape as it relates to companies, credit and security, mutual funds, insolvency, dispute resolution, taxation, trusts and more.

THE FIRST AND ONLY PUBLICATION TO FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON BVI LAW AND PRACTICE

This book is the one and only resource that Practitioners, In-House Counsel, Companies and anyone with interests in BVI Law and Practice will turn to for the ins- and-outs of establishing a company structure in the BVI.

AUTHORITATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE

The text is the authoritative reference for lawyers and other professionals who work frequently with corporate structures and transactions in which there is a BVI element, but it is also intended as an introductory primer for those seeking a comprehensive overview of the jurisdiction and its laws.
