Offshore law firm Appleby is providing clients with guidance on how offshore governments across the jurisdictions in which it operates are responding to the rapidly evolving Covid-19 pandemic.
Its Offshore Business Update – the second issue of which was released this week – aims to pass on information that will help clients and the wider business communities understand what ‘business as usual’ means in these jurisdictions as the pandemic continues to unfold.
The live updates include information on the impact of the pandemic on company and regulatory filings, the ability to conduct company and litigation searches, certificates of good standing, court sessions, travel restrictions and the implications for economic substance compliance and residency.
Cameron Adderley (pictured), Global Practice Group Head of Corporate, at Appleby, commented: “The coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented circumstances for business operations globally, including the offshore jurisdictions in which we operate.
“As a global firm, we have a responsibility to do whatever we can to help our clients – and the business community at large – stay updated on the implications of the pandemic for the continuation of business offshore.”
Business updates for the following jurisdictions will be updated as the pandemic evolves: Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Jersey, Mauritius and Seychelles.
