In this issue, we have several notable highlights to share with you from across our jurisdictions. In Bermuda, we examine the potential complications that can arise with letters of wishes, along with a recent Court decision confirming Bermuda's rules around legal professional privilege. Our team in Cayman explores options for those looking to relocate to the Cayman Islands.
