British Virgin Islands- 2013

By Tim Prudhoe and Timothy P. de Swardt

The arbitral process has become increasingly popular for financial and other institutions doing business in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). In this chapter, Tim Prudhoe and Timothy P. de Swardt discuss the relevant forums, important procedures, and newest trends that impact parties and practitioners involved in complex international arbitrations that involve ties to the BVI.

Cayman Islands- 2013

By James Corbett and Alison Maxwell

The Cayman Islands have recently enacted a law that not only modernizes its arbitration procedures but also brings them into line with international standards. In this chapter, James Corbett QC and Alison Maxwell discuss the basis of the laws and explain how to navigate the new law in the light of the fact that it has yet to be significantly tested by the local courts.

The International Comparative Legal Guide to International Arbitration is a yearly publication that provides current and practical comparative legal information across more than 60 jurisdictions. These articles appeared in the 2013 edition published by Global Legal Group Ltd., London.
