Cross-Border Insolvency Lawyers in the Cayman Islands.

Strategic Counsel in Multi-Jurisdictional Proceedings, Foreign Liquidation Recognition & International Asset Recovery

In today’s global investment environment, insolvency disputes rarely stop at one jurisdiction. Cross-border claims often span continents, legal systems, and regulatory frameworks—raising complex questions of recognition, cooperation, and enforcement.

Whether you are seeking recognition of a foreign liquidation, facing clawback claims in multiple jurisdictions, or coordinating international recovery actions, our team offers the technical precision and litigation strength required to navigate complex cross-border disputes.

We are currently advising on some of the most significant and multi-layered cross-border insolvency cases before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, with proceedings also active in the U.S., Latin America and other key offshore jurisdictions.

At KSG Attorneys, we are known for our ability to manage high-value, multi-jurisdictional insolvency disputes with precision, urgency, and clarity. Our practice is led by Kai McGriele, a leading Cayman Islands litigator with significant experience coordinating insolvency litigation across the U.S., Latin America, Europe and offshore jurisdictions.

We regularly appear before the Grand Court and the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal, advising in matters involving fund collapses, offshore banking failures, and international director claims. Our firm works closely with foreign legal teams, insolvency practitioners, and litigation funders to provide clients with robust strategies that align Cayman litigation with parallel proceedings abroad.

Our current instructions include cross-border clawback claims, multi-party director disputes, foreign liquidation recognition, and global asset tracing—all within structures involving U.S., Latin American, and offshore investors.

Whether defending claims initiated by foreign liquidators or seeking recognition of Cayman-appointed liquidators abroad, we provide the technical know-how and litigation strength to get results.

Featured Current Cases

Some of the cross-border insolvency cases we have recently been involved with include:

Offshore Bank & Investment Entity Dispute
We are currently acting for the liquidators of a Cayman-domiciled bank and affiliated investment vehicle in cross-border litigation involving claims against directors and service providers in the Cayman Islands and the United States. The matter involves complex banking oversight issues and allegations of professional negligence across multiple jurisdictions.

Multi-Jurisdictional Clawback Action
We are advising an investor in a dispute concerning clawback claims exceeding US$10 million, pursued by a liquidator through coordinated proceedings in Cayman, Panama, Colombia, and the U.S. The case raises novel issues about cross-border jurisdiction, insolvency cooperation, and evidentiary disclosure across civil and common law systems.

These matters reflect the sophisticated, global nature of the work we handle—and our reputation for successfully managing the intersection of Cayman litigation and international enforcement.

As a leading offshore financial jurisdiction, the Cayman Islands frequently plays a central role in multi-jurisdictional insolvency disputes. Cayman’s insolvency law draws on both statute and common law, and offers flexible tools for coordinating with foreign courts, including:

• Judicial cooperation with foreign insolvency courts under principles of comity.
• Recognition of foreign liquidators under the Grand Court’s inherent jurisdiction and the Companies Act.
• Assistance with foreign asset recovery, including injunctive relief and discovery orders.
• Use of Norwich Pharmacal applications to obtain information from Cayman service providers or intermediaries

Our team has deep knowledge of Cayman’s Financial Services Division procedures and how to leverage local law in support of broader international litigation goals. We understand the legal and commercial realities our clients face and work strategically to deliver results across borders.
