For companies operating or establishing a business presence in the Cayman Islands, or individuals wanting to make Cayman a permanent or semi-permanent home, immigration can be a daunting experience, especially with changing regulations. We provide a one-stop shop for new companies, where company formation and immigration aspects can be handled simultaneously, and specially tailored advice for individuals to help you navigate the complexities and achieve the desired outcomes.
Your Conyers immigration team has extensive unmatched experience not just in the specialised field of immigration law but also of government policy on immigration, including valuable insight into how applications are determined by decisionmakers at Workforce Opportunities Residency Cayman (WORC). The team is headed by expert immigration lawyer Christopher Eakin, who, before joining Conyers, worked for more than 20 years as a senior policy adviser in the Cayman Islands Government in the field of immigration.
