Guide to Restructuring & Insolvency in the Cayman Islands 2025

The Cayman Islands has established itself as a leading jurisdiction for corporate restructuring, offering a sophisticated legal framework that combines English common law principles with modern commercial flexibility. The jurisdiction offers sophisticated statutory frameworks, an experienced judiciary familiar with complex cross-border matters, a skilled body of legal practitioners operating in the financial services sector and the absence of restrictions on foreign ownership or control of Cayman Islands entities. The jurisdiction’s practical advantages include established infrastructure for complex international transactions, efficient court procedures with expedited hearings, and strong relationships with major financial centres. The courts demonstrate commercial pragmatism in granting urgent relief and recognising foreign proceedings, while maintaining legal certainty through consistent jurisprudence, making the Cayman Islands a preferred venue for restructuring multinational entities and offshore financing structures.
