Appraisal Rights & Merger Litigation
The Cayman Islands merger regime contains appraisal rights for dissenters permitting shareholders who dissent from a merger to apply to the Court to determine the fair value of their shares. This is a relatively new and evolving jurisprudence in a highly technical area involving complex valuation evidence.
We have unparalleled experience in this area. Our lawyers have acted either on the dissenter or company side in every fair value trial which has come before the Cayman Islands Court to date and we are currently acting in the majority of petitions currently before the Cayman Islands Court.
