We value excellence in our work and client service. We believe that the best results for our clients are achieved by a team approach, and our lawyers work together to deliver efficient innovative solutions.
Maples and Calder is a truly international law firm, with offices around the world. Our staff and client base come from many different religious, racial and social backgrounds. We work in different languages, embrace clients from different cultures and often bring diverse legal communities together in a single global deal. The principles of equal opportunity and diversity are therefore fundamental to our continuing success.
At Maples and Calder we promote a team culture where we treat all our staff, clients and suppliers with courtesy, consideration and respect regardless of their race, colour, ethnic or national origins, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, religion or belief.
We opened our Hong Kong office in 1995 – our first office outside the Cayman Islands. Since then we have developed strong relationships with international clients doing business in Hong Kong, China and the wider Asia Pacific region. Many of our lawyers speak Cantonese, Mandarin or Japanese and read or write Chinese to business standard. They work closely with our offices in British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Dubai, Dublin, London and Singapore to provide the highest quality legal advice for international businesses and their advisors.
Our Hong Kong office principally practises the laws of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands and focuses on corporate and financial legal services. We provide access to Ireland through our Dublin office. We can also provide you with specialist fund administrative services through our affiliate, Maples Fund Services.
