British Virgin Islands (BVI)

The only onshore law firm offshore

Not all law firms operating in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are the same.

Withers is the only onshore full service law firm with an offshore office and lawyers based in the BVI.

Withers is a leading international law firm which was founded in London in 1896. In 2002, the firm merged with the US law firm Bergman Horowitz and Reynolds to create a global practice.

We now have over 670 staff working across offices in the BVI, London, New York, Hong Kong, Geneva, Zurich (Switzerland), Milan (Italy), New Haven (US) and Greenwich (US).

Litigation is a key strength of our BVI office. We have particular expertise in the area of fraud and asset tracing, shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, trusts and insolvency. Our lawyers have been involved in many of the largest fraud and asset recovery cases including Bernard Madoff, Enron, Parmalat, Algosaibi Group and BCCI.

We are further well known for our experience in the private client field, including trusts, personal tax, wealth planning and family. The firm alone acts for 27% of the Sunday Times Rich List.

We are the only British Virgin Islands law firm that has BVI and onshore law capability in Europe, Asia, North America and the Caribbean.

In addition to having BVI lawyers in our Tortola office, we have dedicated BVI law desks in London and Hong Kong enabling us to provide BVI and local law advice across different time zones. We also have Cayman Islands law capability in London.
