The spotlight has been on the legal frameworks at play within
offshore domiciles, but the rules that govern such jurisdictions
are essential to their future success.
"We think of ourselves as unique, from the restructuring
point of view, and the way we work with the Bermuda Monetary
Authority," says Brad Adderley, re/insurance law partner at
Appleby in Bermuda.
Adderley is keen for the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), to
help the island keep its position in the global industry and he is
also part of a new breed looking outside the box to make sure it
stays that way.
The firm is an offshore law specialist with around 470 people,
including 60 partners, operating from 10 offices around the globe;
the largest being its Bermuda base.
