Earlier this week Premier Michael Dunkley paid a courtesy visit to Bermuda companies based in Cayman.

A spokesperson said, “The Premier is currently in Cayman participating in the UK Overseas Territories [OT] Heads of Government Pre-Joint Ministerial Council Meeting. Yesterday, Premier Dunkley stopped in at Cayman based Butterfield Bank, Conyers, Dill and Pearman [CD&P] and law firm Appleby and met with each of the heads of the businesses.”

During the visits, Premier Dunkley discussed common interests, which afforded the Premier an opportunity to have an understanding of how the entities operate as a Bermuda company oversees.

“As a note, Appleby and CD&P are considered to be two leading global firms. In fact, CD&P bested seven firms recently to be named Offshore Law Firm of the Year by Chambers & Partners, publisher of the world’s foremost guides to the legal profession. Cayman based Butterfield provides a range of community banking services in the region,” said a spokesperson.
