Cayman Islands: Register Of Beneficial Ownership Information Update

In our previous update Register of Beneficial Ownership Information we reported on the introduction in the Cayman Islands of new laws and regulations¹ implementing a system of beneficial ownership registers for certain Cayman Islands companies and limited liability companies.
