Walkers' British Virgin Islands (BVI) office opened in July 2002 and is led by Managing Partner, Sandie Corbett. Our BVI office is a full service law office providing advice on all aspects of BVI law with particular emphasis on matters of corporate and international finance law, investment funds, insolvency, litigation and trusts. Through our affiliated companies management company, we are also able to facilitate the incorporation and management of companies in the BVI.
As a British Overseas Territory, the BVI offers security and stability. The territory is responsible for its own internal self-government and is governed by democratically elected officials. The BVI has an independent legal and judicial system based on English Common Law, with a right of final appeal to the Privy Council in London.
The BVI's policies and legislation have all been developed in close partnership with the private sector ensuring that they meet the needs of the financial community. Through this partnership, the BVI government has established sophisticated and efficient supervision and regulation to safeguard the integrity of the jurisdiction while creating an operating environment that is highly attractive to private enterprise.
