The highly collaboratory BVI-based disputes team at Forbes Hare often makes up cross-jurisdictional teams from the Caribbean, London and Asia to act in offshore cases for companies, trusts, and investment funds. Arbitration proceedings, particularly involving offshore companies and investment funds, are a further notable strength, and the department also includes a robust corporate insolvency offering. Robert Nader, a litigator of vast experience, co-leads the practice and is involved in a significant range of civil and commercial cases. Alongside him, William Hare has a strong client base of international companies who look to him in contentious matters.
