Dispute Resolution and Litigation
You’re in a dispute in the Cayman Islands. What you do in the first fortnight shapes what is recoverable later.
Information, not advice
This page is information, not legal advice about your matter. A retainer begins only when a lawyer confirms it.
Start here
Save the evidence and check your deadlines
Documents, messages and any on-chain trail. The Grand Court handles asset tracing regularly, and limitation periods decide what you can still bring.
What to work through, in order
Limitation periods
The Limitation Act applies periods derived from English law, typically six years for contract and tort, with postponement where fraud is alleged.
Preserving evidence and freezing assets
The Grand Court’s Financial Services Division grants freezing and disclosure relief, and is used to tracing through offshore vehicles.
Costs and funding
Costs follow the event, with security for costs available. Third-party funding is recognised subject to court oversight.
Recovery scams
Anyone who contacts you promising to recover your funds for an upfront fee is running a second scam against the same victim. No legitimate firm guarantees recovery, and no legitimate firm asks for payment in crypto to start.
