21 October 2016 marked 100 days since the introduction of the Cayman Islands Limited Liability Companies Law.

Underpinning this demand is the concept that Cayman Islands LLCs operate in an almost identical way to their Delaware counterparts.
How are Cayman Islands LLCs being used?
We are seeing Cayman Islands LLCs used across our Investment Funds, Corporate, Finance and Restructuring practices.
