Maples Group

Maples and Calder was founded over 50 years ago and today is a leading international law firm advising financial, institutional, business and private clients around the world on the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Ireland and Jersey. Our lawyers frequently deal with arbitration clauses contained within commercial contracts. We advise on the meaning and effect of arbitration clauses, the enforcement of arbitration awards, and the conduct of arbitrations. We are familiar with the international arbitration conventions and rules. We also provide expert testimony on matters of Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands laws for use in foreign arbitrations. Where appropriate, we recommend and participate in mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution such as settlement meetings and bidding mechanisms. Maples and Calder has a network of offices around the world comprised of locations which include the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dubai, Dublin, Hong Kong, Jersey, London and Singapore. The service provided is enhanced by the strong relationships the firm has developed with leading legal counsel in the major financial and commercial centres around the globe, delivering time zone convenience and a global multi-office capability. For fiduciary and fund services requirements, the firm provides a seamless, 'one-stop shop' capability through its affiliate, MaplesFS.
