Forbes Hare is especially known for insolvency and dispute resolution matters and for its expertise in Cayman and BVI laws. All members of the team have been based in Cayman or BVI during the course of their career. Much of the Singapore office’s practice is centred on commercial litigation, insolvency, investment fund disputes, trust litigation and arbitration. The firm is also noted for investment funds formation, especially Cayman and BVI alternative investment and private equity funds; it has experienced a notable uptick in fund structures for blockchain entrepreneurs and represents a number of venture capital funds and family offices. Sam Robertson (‘the epitome of what one seeks in an offshore lawyer based in Asia’) is noted for cross-border insolvencies, along with litigation and arbitration. Catherine Ross and Patrick Colegrave are experienced investment funds practitioners.
