Litigation can hold a mirror to the social and economic
circumstances in which we find ourselves.
As the macro-environment continues to be volatile and we see
growing economic instability across the globe, we can expect to see
an accompanying rise in disputes in the areas of insolvency, fraud,
and fund collapses, among others.
Where we're heading into new terrain is in the specific
format these disputes are taking, especially in the crypto disputes
space.
Our BVI law team has been appointed to advise the joint
liquidators of cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital
Limited for example, in the first case of its kind. We've also
seen courts needing to take innovative approaches to crypto
litigation, including the BVI Court's decision to freeze crypto
wallets where assets had been stolen.
