We have offices in six highly regarded, well-regulated global locations that enable us to deliver a globally integrated range of services. Our office locations include the key international jurisdictions of Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Mauritius, and the Seychelles, as well as the international financial centre of Hong Kong.
We understand that our clients may seek to list their structures to widen the investor base and provide liquidity; we are well placed to support these activities as we have a pre-existing understanding of their structures through the financial reporting, administrative and legal services we provide to them. We focus on the heavy lifting of preparing and submitting documents, as well as serving as a channel of communication with regulators, providing you with the time required to build and maintain your investor base.
Our listing team is highly regarded for their expertise in managing initial public offerings (IPOs) and subsequent listings of both equity and debt securities of Bermuda, Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands (TISE), Mauritius and Seychelles companies on the world’s major exchanges.
In addition, our Hong Kong team has extensive expertise in supporting offshore companies with IPOs on the Hong Kong, US, Singapore and many other internationally recognised stock exchanges.
The team is committed to delivering a highly professional and integrated service, coordinating the listing process, and supporting the issuer through their application. We also act as our client’s ongoing sponsor in Bermuda and assist them in meeting their continuing obligations as a listed issuer on the exchange.
