Dispute resolution

Maples Group

Maples Group‘s contentious offering in the Cayman Islands is regarded as being ’at the forefront of developments in insolvency and restructuring‘, excelling in all fallout of high-profile insolvencies, as well as supporting on contentious restructuring, investment fund disputes, and fraud and asset tracing cases. Co-leader of the department James Eldridge specialises in insolvency-related issues and regularly represents financial institutions, investors and insolvency officeholders. Fellow practice co-head Caroline Moran ’is an exceptional operator‘ and advises on all aspects of cross border and domestic insolvency and restructuring issues. Nick Herrod is another key figure, his recent matters include advice on Cayman Islands issues arising from Seadrill’s, NAC DAC’s, Avianca’s and Katerra’s US Chapter 11 proceedings. Malachi Sweetman adds large scale commercial litigation experience, and Quentin Cregan is strong on a range of finance sector dispute resolution. Christian La-Roda Thomas is another name to note, and both Justin Naidu and Luke Armitage stand out as support to the partners.
