Restructuring & Liquidations
Our team has over 17 years’ experience in restructuring, liquidations and winding up entities across Cayman Islands, Delaware, Ireland, BVI, the Bahamas and Bermuda. With our global and local teams, we deploy at pace, resolving both complex and standard challenges for clients.
Voluntary Liquidations & Strike-Off
.
Predictable solvent wind-downs and licence termination led by our highly experienced Cayman Islands team.
We manage: statutory steps; Gazette notices; liquidator’s report where permitted; dissolution timeline.
Non-Contentious Liquidations (Solvent)
.
DM acts as voluntary liquidator for funds and SPVs. We run the full statutory process, liaise with CIMA on licence termination and audit waiver applications under the Private Funds Act / Mutual Funds Act, prepare liquidator’s reports where permitted and manage single entity or group closures to a clear dissolution date.
Illiquid Assets & Special Situations
.
We act as replacement registered office/company manager and coordinate counterparties. Our experts will rapidly triage ageing or illiquid assets and set options (hold – realize – restructure – winddown). As the process progresses, we manage AEOI/AML remediation and investor communications, then execute orderly exits, including voluntary liquidation, where appropriate.
Insolvency & Court-Appointed Roles
(Cayman-led)
Our licensed insolvency practitioners act as official and voluntary liquidators, receivers and liquidating trustees. We take court appointed roles in the Cayman Islands and the Seychelles and lead cross-border asset recovery, using a transparent and high value fee structure.
Reporting & Compliance

We have a particular expertise in accounting and reporting services for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and Web3 companies, resolving their complex accounting, reporting and compliance requirements
