Conyers Coverage

A warm welcome to our latest edition of Conyers Coverage. It's been a dizzying year to date for the Cayman Islands (re)insurance industry, so it's time for some updates and insights.

The momentum is real and the pipeline is strong, with a significant increase in interest following the Cayman Reinsurance Roundtable in New York in January and the Refocus conference in February. I believe we are at an inflection point in the jurisdiction and I've taken some time to reflect on the factors driving this "virtuous circle". Philippa touches on more of the micro factors as to why reinsurers are ramping up in Cayman and the rest of the team have weighed in with a host of updates on new rules and regulations including important deadline reminders and other industry news and views. We also have some topical updates from our litigation and regulatory colleagues and you'll find out more about some new team members and service offerings at Conyers.
